Walnut Creek Turkey Trot
The Walnut Creek Turkey Trot is a community running event on Thursday, November 26, 2026, presented by Forma Gym at Civic Park, 1375 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek, CA.
The event offers the following distances:
- 10K
- 5K
- Kids Fun Runs: 1/2 mile, 1/4 mile, 100 yd
Both the 5K and 10K routes go through downtown Walnut Creek; the 10K also extends onto the Iron Horse trail. Both courses are paved and flat. Aid stations along the 5K and 10K will be stocked with water and fluid replacement.
The 5K and 10K are chip-timed; timing chips are attached to the back of the race bib and timing points include the start and finish. Wave starts and corrals will be used for the 10K, 5K and Kids Fun Runs; participants should line up in the corral that corresponds to their bib.
Race packet pick-up will be available at Forma Gym on the two days before the event, and race day packet pick-up and registration will be set up near the library at Civic Park. Age divisions apply for the 5K and 10K; the kids fun runs are not timed and each finisher receives a custom medal. Awards are not distributed at the event due to the holiday; medals will be available for pick up at Forma Gym beginning December 3, and out-of-area participants may arrange mailing with the organizer.
Proceeds benefit White Pony Express, Pledge to Humanity and the Forma Kids Foundation. All entries are non-refundable and non-transferable; the event takes place rain or shine. Race communication is conducted by email. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
