Race Information
Come start a new Thanksgiving weekend tradition with a fast, mostly-flat half marathon, 10K, or 5K! The Little Turkeys Race (about 100 yards or so) is free to all children brought with race participants. Once again, we are also holding a food drive benefiting Alameda County Food Bank and are encouraging all participants (including little turkeys) to bring at least one canned good on race morning.
All races begin and end at Quarry Lakes Recreational Area, with the 10K and half marathon races going out along the Alameda Creek Trail. Trails are primarily fire trails with short paved sections.
