2023 Davis Turkey Trot Course Maps

Notes and course rules:

• All humans on the course, with the exception of babies/toddlers in strollers, or parents/caregivers accompanying a child in one of the Kids Events, must be registered for the distance for which they are running/walking. No unregistered pacers permitted.
• The following are not permitted on any race course: scooters, bikes, rollerblades, trikes, sport balls (including soccer and basketballs), hula hoops, roller skates,
• Early starts are not available due to the nature of when roads will be closed by Police and secured for your safety.
• We do not offer comp entries to runners based on prior performance.
• Be mindful of others while on the course. Keep children nearby and avoid suddenly stopping.
• Run or walk on the right and pass on the left.
• Do not walk or run several persons abreast and effectively block bike paths.
• The 2 Mile, 5K, and 10K courses are paved the entire distance. The Half Marathon has a 3/4 mile stretch along the canal that runs along the edge of North Davis. This path is gravel/hard packed dirt and occurs from mile 4.25 to mile 5 of the course. For this reason, we do not recommend wheelchairs on this course. Some jogging strollers may be adaptable to the mixed terrain.
• If you wear earbuds/headphones, keep one ear free to hear directions / announcements from volunteers, law enforcement, emergency vehicles, and/or other participants.
• Jogging strollers at high speeds can be dangerous when weaving around others. We allow strollers but ask that you do not line up at the very front of the starting line. If you wish to run a race-winning pace, we suggest you do not run with a stroller. Strollers and Duo Teams should aim to line up at the starting line within their estimated pace group or just behind it.
• Racing wheelchairs should line up at the front; pushed or motorized wheelchairs should line up with the walkers in the back.
• If you plan to bring your dog to the event, we ask that you first assess whether the environment is suitable for your pup. There will be many other dogs, loud noises and a lot of people. Is your dog in shape to run or walk the distance you are entering? All dogs must be on non retractable leashes and be comfortable in busy environments with lots of people and dogs. Please bring plastic bags and clean up after him or her at all times. We also suggest bringing a portable water bowl.  Dogs may Not start in the front of the 5K,10K or Half Marathon event and must be towards the back. Doggy strollers/wagons are allowed in the 2 Mile race only.
• It is critical that you run or walk (or roll) the division for which you are registered. Even if you are not participating for a time, if you run or walk a distance other than what you are registered for, it has the potential to throw off the age group and overall results for other participants because you have completed a different distance than what the computer thinks you ran/walked. Please be mindful that your actions may have an effect on the experience of others.
• 15K participants must finish the 5K within 55 minutes in order to be back in time to start the 10K at 9:00 am.
• Cut off times are: 10K: 2 hours 30 minutes; Half Marathon: 3 hours 45 minutes.

2 Mile “Dog Jog” Run or Walk
Our 2 mile run/walk is also known as the ‘Dog Jog’ and  is a perfect introduction to the event for kids and families, those in wheelchairs, and participants with dogs. The 2 Mile run/walk starts at 8:25 a.m. 

During registration, if you are participating with your pup, you have the option to enter your dog in our Dog Division special division. We will rank dogs in the Dog Division by size and have prizes for the Top 5 Dogs in each dog division. Yes, Lola could come home from the Davis Turkey Trot with her very own prize!  As a note, the Dog sub-division is for dogs who complete the 2 Mile course on their four legs. Pups in strollers or wagons are absolutely welcome in the 2 Mile distance, but should not enroll in the Dog Division.

Note: A dog is not required to participate in the 2 mile run/walk. Many people (around 50%) elect to participate in this division without a four-legged friend.

If you are entering this division and plan on bringing your dog, please ensure:

• your dog is comfortable in crowds and around other dogs, including not barking at other dogs or strangers and especially not jumping when excited
• your dog is on a non retractable leash
• your dog is sufficiently trained to complete the distance
• you have a means of cleaning up after him/her

Commonly asked questions about the 2 Mile Dog Jog:

1. Do I need to register my dog separately? – no. You will be asked questions during the registration process about your dog.
2. Does my dog get its own finisher medal? – no.
3. Can I buy an extra medal for my dog? – no. But you can gift them yours. 
4. My dog(s) are elderly/small. Can I push them in a stroller or wagon? yes. This is common and we encourage it, if it is the best fit for you and your dog.

6. Is this a timed race? – yes
7. Are there age group awards for the humans? – yes (see awards section below).
8. Can I walk with my dog(s) and push my child in a stroller in the 2 mile? – yes

10. I want to run / walk with two dogs. How should I enter the dog division? – Enter the names of both dogs, breeds of both dogs, and size of the smallest of your two dogs. We can only allocate one dog per human. The results will list both dog names in one entry. 
11. My friend and I are both going to be running with my dog. Should we both enter my dog in the dog division? – No. The dog should only be entered one time, even if he/she will have many humans running/walking with them. Only one human entry should include Dog Division registration.
12. I will be participating with my service dog. Are they eligible to be entered in the Dog Division: – yes

Adaptive Divisions

Adaptive divisions are offered for participants with disabilities.

Adaptive Kids Event: At 10:45 a.m., we will host an Adaptive 50 yd. event for kids 18 and under. The intention with this event/distance is to make the event inclusive for children who use a walker, wheelchair, any other assistive mobility device, and/or for whom a shorter course is needed due to a disability.

Adaptive Divisions are offered in the 2 Mile, 5K, and 10K. Divisions offered are: Wheelchair: Push Rim, Wheelchair: Hand crank, Wheelchair: Non-Racing (e.g. motorized or pushed), Visually Impaired, Limb Deficiency/Limb Difference, Duo Team (A duo team is comprised of an able-bodied runner or walker pushing a non-ambulatory person in a customized racing wheelchair), and Intellectual Impairment. The top three male, female, and nonbinary finishers in each adaptive division will receive a prize. Entrants in the adaptive divisions will be listed in the standard distance results (e.g. 2 Mile) and eligible for age group awards/rankings, except for those participating in the Wheelchair divisions. Wheelchair results will be listed separately by distance and broken down by chair type and gender.

If you are a sighted guide for a visually impaired participant, or a support runner/walker for an entrant in an adaptive category (Limb Difference, Duo Team, Intellectual Impairment, or Visually Impaired), please do not enter the adaptive division. Support Runners (including sighted guides) for entrants in the Visually Impaired, Limb Deficiency, Duo Team, or Intellectual Impairment divisions must be registered for the event either as a standard paid entrant or as a support runner. You may not be on the race course if you are not registered. Entering as a support runner/walker is is offered at no charge. To register for the support runner/walker category, select “Support Runner” choice at registration (end of list). Those registering as a support runner will not be eligible for age group awards nor be ranked by age, but will receive a finish time.   A race t-shirt and finisher medal are provided to support runners.  One may opt out of the t-shirt.  (No support runner entry available for wheelchair entrants except for pushed wheelchairs).  In the case that support runners  wish to receive the full race experience (eligible for awards, ranked by age division, etc), they should register for the distance they are going to run/walk (2 mile, 5K, etc) instead of as a Support Runner, but be sure to not enter an Adaptive Division. Email acopfoundation@gmail.com with any questions prior to registering.

Notes:
– We suggest that support runners/walkers and guides wear high visibility clothing or a vest indicating that they are a guide or a support runner. However, it is not required.
– Please do not register as a Support Runner if you do not already have an athlete you are paired with. At this time we do not have a matching program, but will post on our website/social media if there are adaptive entrants seeking support runners.
– Please email us at acopfoundation@gmail.com with any questions.

Special Divisions

Special Divisions are an additional division that participants can enter in addition to their age group. We have created these categories to make this event unique, inclusive, and fun for people who are a part of the below groups.

• Entering a special division will not remove you from your age group and you will still be ranked and eligible for age division awards.
• Participants may enter one special division only. 
• Wheelchair entrants will be scored separately and eligible for overall as well as age group and special division awards.
• All special divisions will be scored and ranked by NET time, which is the elapsed time from when you cross the start line to when you cross the finish line. Take your time at the start and don’t rush to cross the starting line when the horn is blown. 

Divisions are as follows: 

Baby Jogger/Stroller Division:

• • This is for parents, guardians, grandparents, and caregivers who will be pushing a child in a baby jogger / stroller in the 2 Mile, 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon.
  • Please note that strollers MUST NOT START AT THE FRONT of the starting line for safety reasons.
  • Do not enter this division if starting towards the back will inhibit you from reaching your race goals such as desired pace or age group ranking.
  • If two people will be pushing a stroller/participating together, only one should enter the stroller division.
  • Must be 16+ to enter this category.
  • Awards to the top three finishers by gender. 

Dog Division.

• • Dogs must be well behaved, including: not barking at other dogs in crowds, no jumping (at people or other dogs), comfortable around lots of people and noise, obedient on leash, and on a non-retractable leash.

    • MEDIUM DOG (Cocker Spaniel, Border Collie,e.g)
    • LARGE DOG (Golden Retriever, Husky, Boxer, e.g.)
    • EXTRA LARGE DOG  (Great Pyrenees, Great Dane)
  • Absolutely NO dogs in the first 300 feet of the line up for start for the 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon. Be prepared to start towards the back.
  • Do not enter this division if starting towards the back will inhibit you from reaching your race goals such as desired pace or age group ranking.
  • Dogs in dog strollers are permitted, but not eligible for a ‘top dog’ award. Do not enter dog division if your dog will be carried or pushed.
  • If you plan to run a fast pace (eg 8:00 or better) and try for an age division award, we suggest you do not run with a dog, because you will be required to start towards the back. 
  • Only one dog size can be attributed per human runner/walker for the 2 Mile; pick the size that represents the slower of the two dogs. If two people will be running with one dog, you should only enter dog division on one of the human’s entries (not both).
  • Must be 16+ to enter this category.
  • Anyone participating with a dog must clean up after their pet. 

Cancer Champions’ Cancer Survivor Division.

2012 Recap:

2012: The year it was a torrential downpour, right up until the kids fun runs started. I think the picture to the right sums it up. Mother Nature wanted the 25th Anniversary to be extra memorable, I suppose. This year was also the year the half marathon debuted.
