This Sunday will be the 36th running of the
Turkey Trot run around Donner Lake. This is a great low-key race with pumpkin pies
given for awards. The race has an early start for walkers at 9:30am, with
runners starting at 10:30am. There is
also a kids “Mashed potato mile” race that starts at 10:00am.
The race is organized by the Auburn Ski Club Junior Nordic
Team. Proceeds go to the Junior Nordic Team.
The race starts and ends at the West-End Beach, Donner
Lake. The event has experienced snowstorms, ice, and rain, as well as good
weather. It has only been cancelled one
time, and that was last year. The former
Truckee Police Chief cancelled the event “Due to safety concerns of slippery
roads”. A bunch of people showed up and ran anyway.
You can register on-line or register on race day. Preregistration
is just $15 dollars for adults, $25 race day.
