## About

The annual Folsom Turkey Trot is a cherished Thanksgiving morning tradition in eastern Sacramento County, gathering more than 4,000 runners and families at scenic Rodeo Park next to Dan Russell Arena. Serving as a crucial fundraiser for the Twin Lakes Food Bank, this uplifting event ensures that vulnerable neighbors throughout Folsom and surrounding communities receive warm holiday meals and ongoing grocery assistance. Participants can choose between a chip-timed 10K course and a family-friendly 5K run/walk that travels along paved historic corridors and peaceful neighborhood parkways overlooking the American River corridor.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved, wide park paths and neighborhood streets provide smooth gliding for all baby strollers, double joggers, and wagons.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Permanent public restrooms with baby changing counters are situated in Rodeo Park and the Folsom Community Center adjacent to the starting festival.
• Age Suitability: All ages. Children under 5 participate for free alongside registered adults, and young trotters receive festive turkey finisher ribbons.
• Sensory Tips: Energetic race countdown and holiday music near the start arch; quiet grassy zones are readily accessible throughout Rodeo Park's perimeter.
