Walnut Creek Turkey Trot
The Walnut Creek Turkey Trot is presented by Forma Gym and takes place at Civic Park, 1375 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek, CA on Thursday, November 26, 2026. The event includes timed road races and multiple kids' fun runs, and proceeds benefit White Pony Express, Pledge to Humanity and the Forma Kids Foundation.
Distances:
- 10K
- 5K
- Kids Fun Run 1/2 mile
- Kids Fun Run 1/4 mile
- Kids Fun Run 100 yard dash
Both the 5K and 10K courses run through downtown Walnut Creek. The 10K also extends onto the Iron Horse Trail. Both road courses are paved and described as flat. Aid stations along the 5K and 10K will offer water and fluid replacement.
The 5K and 10K use chip timing; timing chips are adhered to the back of the race bib at packet pick up. Participants are instructed to wear the bib on the front of the outermost layer of clothing and not to fold or alter the bib. Kids fun runs are not timed; each finisher receives a custom medal.
Packet pick up is at Forma Gym, 1908 Olympic Blvd, Walnut Creek, on Tuesday 11/24 from 1:00pm to 7:00pm and Wednesday 11/25 from 12:00pm to 6:00pm. Awards will not be handed out on race day because the event falls on a holiday; awards are available for pick up starting Monday, December 3 at Forma Gym. The event proceeds rain or shine. All entries are non refundable and non transferable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
