Fremont's Quarry Turkey 2026 is set for November 28th and promises an unforgettable Thanksgiving weekend run. The picturesque Fremont Park serves as the venue, offering runners stunning greenery and well-maintained trails to explore. Race morning on that crisp fall day will see clear skies and mild temperatures, setting a perfect tone for your journey through the park. Known for its community spirit since 2016, this event has grown in popularity with thousands of participants supporting the Alameda County Food Bank each year. The Double Turkey challenge adds an extra layer of excitement. Participants can choose from various distances: adults have options like the 5K and Half Marathon, while younger runners aged twelve and under can join the 10K Youth or 5K Youth races. The course features firm terrain with a mostly-flat layout, providing both accessibility and challenges for all levels. Race day commences at Fremont Park. For those running in the Half Marathon or 10K, your start will be near the main entrance; youth runners begin closer to the playground area. With an average temperature ranging from 8.6°C to 17.9°C on race morning and calm winds averaging 6.3 km/h, conditions are ideal for a comfortable run. Weather forecasts predict minimal rainfall with only 2.7mm expected, ensuring clear running paths. Bibs can be collected at the park or in person one week prior to the event, along with any required items for participation. The start location is clearly marked: 3580 Warm Springs Blvd, Fremont, CA 94538. Participants must be aged twelve and over unless they are part of a youth race category. First-timers should ensure their race bibs and proof of age (if needed) are ready for check-in. This event not only offers a unique Thanksgiving run but also supports community initiatives, making it an experience that benefits both runners and the wider community.
