10k Turkey Trek & 2k Turkey Toddle

10k Turkey Trek & 2k Turkey Toddle is run at Long Lake Regional Park in Arvada, Colorado, on November 21, 2026. Four distances share the morning: the 5K at 8:30 a.m., the Half Turkey (13.1 miles) at 8:40 a.m., the 10K at 9:00 a.m. and the 2K Turkey Toddle at 9:10 a.m. The course is a demanding one, built around a steady climb that tops out at an optional egg nog challenge, then a winding descent and a set of obstacles that includes a hay bale jump and a pumpkin pie station. Proceeds go to the Community Table food bank.

Take the festive obstacles seriously as part of the effort. A climb followed by a twisting descent and stops along the way makes for a slower, more uneven race than a flat road 10K, so pace it by feel rather than by watch. The 2K is aimed at the youngest runners, the 5K and 10K suit most fitness levels, and the Half Turkey is the version for experienced runners who want the extra distance on the same terrain. Hill repeats and some downhill running will serve you better in training than a flat tempo.
