Solano Turkey Trot
The Solano Turkey Trot is a community running event held on Thanksgiving Day at Solano Community College in Fairfield, California. The event includes a 10K, a 5K, and a Kids’ Fun Run and benefits Meals on Wheels and the Suisun Kroc Center. Registered participants receive a t-shirt, a medal, a race bib, sample giveaways, and post race refreshments.
Packet pick up is offered on specific dates before the event at Solano Community College and at Fleet Feet in Vacaville. Packet pick up locations include:
- 10K
- 5K
- Kids’ Fun Run
The event awards the top three overall male and female finishers in both the 5K and 10K with custom medals and prize money, and the top three in each age group receive custom medals. There is a Masters Division for athletes age 40 and older with its own prize purse. A raffle is held with multiple prize opportunities; tickets are sold in advance and at packet pick up and on race day. Proceeds from the raffle support the two beneficiary nonprofit organizations.
A costume contest is part of the event with judging on the stage and categories for adults, children, and families. The event also supports team participation through a community challenge that lets workplaces, churches, and families register as teams during the registration process.
