Yes, the Turkey Trot 5k is chip-timed. Results appear dynamically as runners finish, in real time. You can see your results on this website (santarosaturkeytrot.com). 

There is also a QR code that links to the results on your race bib.

No, there is not a formal time limit. We expect everyone to be done within 90 minutes based on our past experiences.

Yes, we can use all the volunteers we can get! If you volunteer, you can receive a free entry to Beer City Santa Rosa, which takes place in February. Sign up here. 

Oh yes! You absolutely should! We will choose folks in costume for special gifts on race day. Post yourself running in turkey garb and tag us at #bishopranchturkeytrot and we may send you something nifty. 

There are prizes for the top three male and female finishers (13 and above) and the top three young male and female finishers (0 - 12). We do not offer Age Group Awards, though all age group categories are reported in our results.

Yes, feel free to come on race day and we will sign you up!

We practice radical acceptance of deferrals and transfers. You can defer or transfer at any time up until race day (but not after the race has taken place.) This includes gifting your registration to a friend. 

Here are your options. You can:

• Defer until next year's race. We sign you up automatically after registration opens for next year's race.
• Transfer your race to a friend. They can come and enjoy a good time.
• Transfer to any other of our events between now and a year from now. You join us in the future!

All of these options are available to you by selecting Manage Registration in your profile. Here is a little tutorial on how to manage your registration. It's all free of charge. 

As to refunds, we don't offer cash refunds under any circumstance. Please consider purchasing race insurance at checkout. This is exactly what it's here for.

We do! Check out the specials on our Hotel Specials page.

Santa Rosa Turkey Trot takes place on Thankgiving morning every year.

Kinda. If there are extra shirts leftover on race day, you can purchase one. We try to meet the needs of all the registered runners before distibuting the extras.

Before the race, you can change you shirt size through your profile. Here's a video on how to do that.

If your shirt size is sold out, you may be able to get a different size on race day. At the end of the race we allow runners to swap out their shirt for the available inventory of shirts. This trading is first-come, first-served and can be fun!

Unforunately the closer we are to race day, the more likley it is that your shirt size will be sold out. We do our best to accomodate everyone.

Yes! We offer a medal to all finishers. This wood-cut medal will be handed out to you at the end of the race.

Age Group Awards can be claimed at the timer table. There is no separate presentation or awards ceremony for Age Group Awards. If you don't claim yours on race day, you can pick it up at Fleet Feet Santa Rosa, starting on Black Friday. We will no be able to mail Age Group Awards. 

We ask you when you are signing up if you want to join a team. You can either join an existing one or create a new one. You can also go directly to joining a team when you sign up by going to the Teams or Groups tab on the website.
