Turkey ROCK Trot
The Plum Creek Church 22nd Annual Turkey ROCK Trot presented by CORE is a Thanksgiving morning community running event in Castle Rock, Colorado. It features a family 5K run/walk/stroll and a free 1K kids dash sponsored by PR Youth Running.
- 5K Family Fun Run/Walk/Stroll
- FREE 1K Kid’s Dash
The event takes place at the Douglas County Event Center and includes a Health and Wellness Expo with more than 30 vendors, a complimentary food item for participants, free beer for participants 21 and older, and additional beverage options for purchase. On-course entertainment includes a live DJ at the start area and live music along the route. Family activities listed for the expo include face painting, balloon twisting, and a bounce house.
An assigned wave start system groups participants by pace. Participants may move to a slower wave but may not move to a faster wave. Timing begins when a participant crosses the timing mats. Dogs are restricted from the faster pace waves; a designated wave welcomes well mannered dogs and walkers.
Awards are given to the top three overall female and male finishers and to top three female and male finishers in specified age groups. The fastest team award is based on the four fastest times from a registered team.
Parking at the event center is free but limited. No refunds are offered; registrations that are not used are treated as tax-deductible donations. Proceeds benefit the Help & Hope Center, which provides assistance to neighbors in Douglas and Elbert counties. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
