Davis Turkey Trot
Organized by A Change of Pace, the 38th annual Davis Turkey Trot is scheduled for November 21, 2026 at Civic Center Field in Davis, California. The event offers a selection of road and fun-run distances and lists two charitable partners for 2026: Cancer Champions and the Yolo County SPCA.
Available distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
- 2 Mile
- 1 Mile
- Kids Fun Runs
All timed divisions receive race timing, a commemorative bib, and finisher medals; Kids Fun Runs are not timed and include a short sleeve cotton T-shirt. Most adult distances include a long sleeve DryBlend T-shirt. Overall awards are given to the top three finishers by gender using gun time, while age group awards are determined by net time. Special divisions are offered for adaptive athletes, strollers, UC Davis participants, and U.S. military veterans. The half marathon has a four hour course cutoff.
Packet pick-up is available the day before at Veterans Memorial Center and on race day at Civic Center Field; cash is accepted at packet pick-up and on race day only. Much of the course runs on a bike path; participants are asked to keep slower traffic to the right and allow faster participants to pass on the left. Dogs are not permitted on the course and strollers must start toward the back. Course maps and vendor booth information are provided by the organizer.
