2026 TURKEY TREK (13.1, 10k, 5k & 2k)

Race Information

This is not your run-of-the-mill 'Turkey Trot.' This is the Turkey TREK!

Are you up for the challenge? Run a steady uphill climb to the summit of the course at the 3-mile mark. Poised at the top of the hill is the infamous EGG NOG CHUG Challenge, where racers have the option to chug 5 oz of eggnog. (Those who 'chug' are entered to win a new pair of shoes!) It's windy and wild at the top, and the limitless views are UNMATCHED. Run the ridge for a mile before starting the more gradual, yet still winding, descent down the east side of the mesa. If you require a bit more training before attempting the 10k loop, there are 5k and 2k distances also offered, with a small 'taste' of the full course of challenges! For those of you who eat hills for breakfast and wash them down with eggnog daily, there's the HALF TURKEY to get you to the 13.1-mile distance!

👍 Run Pick of the Month: Zion Half Marathon

📍 Squamish - Saturday February 27, 2027

😄 Why We Like This Run
✅ Breathtaking national park views
✅ Smooth, gentle route
✅ An unforgettable atmosphere

Lace up for 13.1 miles through the heart of Utah's red rock country. Starting on Kolob Terrace Road in Virgin, Utah, this gently rolling, point-to-point course follows the Virgin River, just two major turns stand between you and the finish, as towering sandstone walls and endless desert views build with every mile.

It's bold. It's beautiful. It's unforgettable. And it ends right where the adventure should: at Cable Mountain Lodge in Springdale, staring at the South Entrance of Zion National Park. Beat the 10/31 price increase!
