Turkey Burnoff at Seneca Creek State Park
The Turkey Burnoff is an annual fall low-key race held at Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg, Maryland on November 27, 2027. The event features multiple distances on a single paved course that uses park roads and passes across a dam and through wooded sections. Runners will encounter gently rolling hills along the route and may see local deer.
Distances include:
- 5 mile race, one loop
- 10 mile race, two loops
- 2.78 km young run, youth series without timing chips
Parking at the park is limited. A park gate will be closed before the event start; arrivals after the gate closure are directed to the park administrative lot and face about a half mile walk to the start area. Bib and chip pickup takes place on race morning for nonmembers.
The race is part of a volunteer-run series. MCRRC members may use existing club bib and chip arrangements for low-key races. Nonmembers pay a registration fee; registrations can be handled online and may be transferred to another low-key race if the registrant cannot attend. The youth run is free but requires prior registration by a parent or guardian. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
