  • Course Information

    Turkey Trot Race Course Information

    The long-standing tradition of Turkey Trotters supports the Kansas Food Bank and includes 10-mile and 2-mile runs both USATF Certified and record eligible (10-mile pending and KS17018TJD). Times will be sent to the Kansas Road Running Records after the race. Please note that on a certified course, a GPS watch will read long. This is due to the certification process and the procedures that are followed. To pace yourself accurately, please refer to the mile marker signs along the course.

    Please run carefully, listen to the directions of course marshals and police, thank the volunteers, and have fun! The course will be marked with directional arrows and cones at the turns. There will be a lead bike and volunteers along the course.

    At the start, there will be pace signs held by volunteers at the start. To decrease the amount of congestion on the course, please line up according to your projected pace for the run. Along the course, there will be water stations. Restroom locations will be inside Century II and portable toilets will be available on Kennedy Plaza and on the race courses. At the finish, be sure to smile, cheer for yourself and everyone around you, and enjoy the morning! There will be a photographer at the finish line to capture your accomplishment. Photos will be available on the Wichita Turkey Trot Facebook page following the race.
