285 Turkey Trot - 2025

About the Event

On Saturday, November 22nd, the 285 Turkey Trot will take place in the quaint town of Bailey, nestled at an elevation just under 6,000 feet. This race is known for its close-knit community atmosphere and traditional feel, with runners, joggers, and walkers all coming together to celebrate this annual family event. The morning air on race day typically hovers around a chilly 1.1°C, making it perfect for the light layers that are standard attire in early November.
The course is set through Tomahawk Ranch, offering participants a mix of flat stretches and gentle rolling terrain. Runners will start at the main entrance to Tomahawk Ranch, which serves as both the starting point and finish line. The 285 Turkey Trot offers four distinct distances: a 1k kids loop for athletes aged 11 years or younger, a 5K division, a 10K division, and an optional virtual division allowing those from afar to join in. Each distance is carefully mapped out, ensuring that all participants can enjoy the race at their own pace.
The first 180 registered participants will receive a finishers' award and a special 2025 Turkey Trot-themed technical racer’s shirt, along with a goodie-bag filled with swag from our race sponsors. These items are sure to make for memorable keepsakes of the day's event. For those who miss out on these limited-edition goodies after they sell out, we have "No Swag" divisions available at a reduced price.

Logistics play an integral part in ensuring that this community event runs smoothly. Interested runners can register through RunSignup using the URL: https://runsignup.com/Race/CO/Bailey/BaileyColoradoTurkeyTrot. The registration fee is $25 for each distance, with deadlines set a month prior to race day. Bib pickup will take place at Bailey High School on Friday evening before the event.
The start address for runners and participants is Tomahawk Ranch in Bailey, Colorado. Age requirements are as follows: 1k kids loop is open to athletes aged 11 years or younger; all other distances have no age restrictions but require a minimum of 10K running experience. For first-timers, we offer advice on proper hydration and pacing strategies to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience.
The weather for the race day typically sees temperatures between -5.6°C and 7.9°C with light wind speeds around 9.3 km/h and a humidity level of 57.5%. Rainfall is minimal at just 1.3mm, while snowfall might be expected but usually in small amounts. The UV index is low at 2.0, making sun protection essential during the race.
In years past, proceeds from this event supported various projects for Platte Canyon High School's Cross Country Program. This year, the 285 Turkey Trot has shifted its focus to support Evergreen High School Athletics in light of their recent school shooting on September 11th, 2025. All donations made through our donation tab will be directed towards this cause.
Join us for a morning filled with fun and family at Bailey's Annual 285 Turkey Trot on November 22nd. Your participation not only supports local athletics but also contributes to the healing of Evergreen High School students.
