Long Lake Regional Park
17850 W 64th Avenue

This is not your run of the mill 'Turkey Trot.'  This is the 10k 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.  

Once down the hill, racers encounter a relatively flat straight-away peppered with Hay Bales for the hay bale hop challenge.  Continuing the clock-wise loop back into the park, runners find the final challenge - just one kilometer from the finish: Fill Your Pie Hole Challenge.  A fresh portion of holiday pumpkin pie awaits racers there. Once the pie is 'down the hatch', the joy of the finish line isn't far away.  Is this a course on which to set a personal record. This is the course to BRAG about completing - with All of its holiday-themed challenges. Are you ready to conquer it.

We know that some of you require a bit more training before attempting the 10k loop.  5k and 2k distances are also offered, with a small 'taste' of the full course of challenges.
