Start A Healthy Tradition for a Great Cause

Runners have used Thanksgiving Day as an annual running/walking tradition for many reasons: to gather with friends and family before the "feast," to improve upon a previous time, to train for an upcoming marathon or half marathon, or simply a healthy way to kick off their Thanksgiving morning. The Walnut Creek Sports & Fitness Turkey Trot is a fantastic way to become involved in a healthy activity that that generates much-needed funds for our public schools.

Volunteer Support

Volunteering at the WCSF Turkey Trot is almost as popular as participating in the event itself. It's a great way to get our city in shape and support local schools. . Earn community service hours and sign up as either a group or individual. Contact Tom Hart at tom@wcsf.net.

Kid's Fun Runs

100 yard and 400 yard; all kid's will receive a t-shirt and a finisher's ribbon. Heats, based on age, will be used to minimize congestion at the start.
