Walnut Creek Turkey Trot
The Walnut Creek Turkey Trot, presented by Forma Gym, is scheduled for November 26, 2026 at Civic Park in Walnut Creek, CA. The event offers timed road races and several short children’s runs, and supports local charities.
Distances:
- 10K
- 5K
- Kids Fun Runs: 1/2 mile, 1/4 mile, 100 yd
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 flat. Aid stations along the 5K and 10K provide water and fluid replacement.
Race packets are available for pick up at Forma Gym, 1908 Olympic Blvd, on Tuesday 11/24 from 1:00pm to 7:00pm and Wednesday 11/25 from 12:00pm to 6:00pm. Race day packet pick-up and registration are set up near the library at Civic Park. Race bibs include timing chips adhered to the back; bibs should be worn on the front outer layer of clothing and not altered.
The 5K and 10K use chip timing and include start and finish timing points. Age-division categories are listed for awards; kids fun runs are not timed and each finisher receives a custom medal. Awards will be available for pick up at Forma Gym beginning December 3, and out-of-area participants may request mailed awards. Entries are non-refundable and non-transferable. The event runs rain or shine.
Proceeds benefit White Pony Express, Pledge to Humanity and the Forma Kids Foundation. Volunteers help with registration, packet pick-up, aid stations and cleanup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
