This race was lots of fun and a great way to kick off turkey trot week. The course sends you out on the base with a relatively flat first couple of miles. The back half gets a little bit hilly but can definitely be a PR worthy course. The event is put together super well but there aren’t a ton of spectators once you get away from the start/finish area. People have a lot of fun with this race, dressing up and running with family. It had the feel of a small-town race with the production level of a large-scale race. Definitely one I want to come back to! It is on a base so you will need to get prior access if you do not have base access.
Fun Turkey Trot!

This was a great Turkey Trot! Since this is held on the Marine Corps base, people need to have a background check beforehand!
The course is pretty much an out-and-back for about 2 miles (4 total), then the last 2 miles wrapped around buildings. It started to rain at the end of the race, so be prepared for questionable weather (it’s the end of November). We received a box of snacks at the end, which was nice!
Overall, this was the easiest race of the MCM series (it’s not hilly, it’s not long, and it’s the shortest).
