Turkey Trot 10K and Mile : Marine Corps Base Quantico
The Turkey Trot includes two event distances: a 10K and a Mile. The 10K is open to runners age 10 and older and requires the ability to maintain a 20 minute per mile pace. The Mile is open to all ages. Both in-person and virtual participation options are available; virtual participants earn a finisher medal and participant shirt but a virtual finish does not count toward the Distinguished Participant medal.
The course runs on tree-lined, winding roads of Marine Corps Base Quantico, wraps along the Potomac River, and uses Catlin Avenue alongside Lejeune Hall for start and finish locations. Two water points are provided on course at approximately Mile 1.6 and Mile 4.5. Runners are advised to use the clear plastic bag provided at packet pickup for baggage storage and to check bags at the designated baggage area. Bibs, timing tags, and event shirts are distributed at Packet Pickup; a proxy may pick up materials for a registered runner with proper documentation.
Base access requires approved ID and registration in the Defense Biometric Identification System for those without a valid Department of Defense ID. Registrations are final and transfers or deferrals are not permitted; optional Refund Protect is available at registration. Awards for overall, masters, grand masters, and age categories are distributed in person and include gift cards courtesy of Wegmans. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
