Sheffield Village Turkey Trot 2023

November 23, 2023 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

Come join your neighbors for a morning walk/run/stroller strut on Thanksgiving!

This year’s Turkey Trot will start and end in Sheffield Village Park. The fun run course will follow an approximately one mile, clockwise loop up Marlow up to Brookfield, right on Covington all the way to Marlow, right on Marlow and back to the park (see route map below).

Participants may decide to walk or run any of the following options:

  • Single serving (one loop/1.06 mile)
  • Second helpings (two loops/2.12 miles)
  • Third helpings (three loops/3.18 miles/5K)

All runners and walkers will be awarded finisher medals to commemorate the race and standard registration comes with a Sheffield Villlage Turkey Trot ’23 tote bag (printed on medium sized midweight recycled canvas tote bag) with the design pictured on this page. We plan to have finisher area refreshments available as well!

In order to meet production timelines, registration will close on November 18!

Volunteers

We will also need up to 10 volunteers to help with set up, registration/check-in, refreshments, and break down. Volunteers can register and receive a tote bag at a discounted price! Please contact us if you want to volunteer but not receive a shirt (in which case, your “registration” would be free!).

Donating to the Alameda County Food Bank

Finally, we would love to donate any net proceeds to the Alameda County Food Bank, on behalf of our neighborhood (and will submit for the full donation amount to be matched by an employer), so please consider donating or sponsoring (we’ve added a $50 second dessert level this year!) to underwrite costs and help us reach our donation goal! We will share with the neighborhood the full amount donated and amount matched.

Last year we donated $1,000 and got that matched for $2,000 total donated to the food bank. What an amazing testament to the generosity of our neighborhood! We would love to reach or exceed this same goal this year!

If you own or work for a small business that would like to sponsor the event in exchange for logo or name placement on the backs of the tote bags, please see the sponsorship options on the tickets page. Families can also sponsor and get your names on the bags! More sponsors = higher net proceeds = a larger donation to our friends and neighbors at the Alameda County Food Bank!

Sponsorship Levels:

Main Course: $500

Side Dish: $250

Dessert: $100

Second Dessert: $50

To meet production timelines, Sponsorships must be confirmed by November 18.
