Napa Valley Turkey Chase
The Napa Valley Turkey Chase is scheduled for November 26, 2026, at Napa Valley College in Napa, California. The event features measured courses that run through the college grounds and along the Napa River Trail; the courses have been measured by wheel and GPS but are not USATF certified.
Distances
- 5K (3.1 mi)
- 10K (6.2 mi; updated for 2025)
Both courses use lot J as the start and finish area behind the college track. Mile markers are placed at each mile. Course marshals and campus security staff will be positioned at turns and major roadway junctions. Portions of the route remain open to slow moving traffic. Lead bikers will guide runners and headphones are allowed, though participants are responsible for hearing marshal directions.
Aid stations will provide water and electrolyte drinks (near mile 1.5 on both courses and additional stations for the 10K). Portable toilets will be available mainly near the start/finish and one portable toilet will be located on the 10K course.
A free kids 100 meter dash is offered for children age seven and younger; no registration is required and participants receive a medal. Strollers are permitted but should start toward the back. Dogs are not allowed in the races.
Awards include prizes for overall winners in men, women, and non-binary categories for both races, plus age group awards with categories from 12-17 through 70 plus. Early packet pick-up is offered at Athletic Feat in Napa and there is also race morning packet pick-up. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
