Quarry Lakes Turkey Trot & Little Turkeys Dash

About this adventure

Surrounded by tranquil freshwater lakes and migrating waterfowl in Fremont, Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area hosts a Thanksgiving morning tradition beloved by East Bay and South Bay families. With flat, level crushed-gravel pathways winding around Horseshoe Lake and Rainbow Lake, this course is one of the easiest and most picturesque for family runners and stroller-pushing parents. Children ages 10 and under take part in the Little Turkeys non-competitive fun sprint, earning shiny holiday medals and festive turkey bibs. Families love the community spirit, clean park restrooms, ample parking lots, and Brazen Racing's renowned post-race festival featuring warm baked pastries and hot cocoa. Non-perishable food donations are collected at the registration pavilion.
