Event details

The Wild Turkey is a trail race at Beals Point, Granite Bay, California on Thursday, November 27, 2025. The event benefits Folsom's Hope. Packet pick up will be available on race morning at the start area. Parking at the venue is $12 or free with a Poppy pass.

Course and logistics

The race follows trails around Folsom Lake. The 2025 course includes a stretch of doubletrack trail; the 5K is identified as the stroller-friendly option but now includes a section of doubletrack. There is one aid station on course—5K runners pass it once and 10K runners pass it twice. This is a cupless race, so participants must provide a cup or bottle for liquids.

The event includes a post-race celebration with refreshments and music. Organizers list multiple volunteer roles, including aid station support, bib distribution, course marking, and sweepers. Packet pick up and same-day registration take place at the start area on race morning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
