Description
Welcome to the 14th annual Claremont Sunrise Rotary Turkey Trot. With a start/finish in the quaint Claremont Village, the scenic course winds its way through the tree-lined streets of the Claremont Colleges and into the adjacent historic neighborhoods. A slight downhill grade on the last leg provides a welcome boost into the finish.
This year's HYBRID EVENT allows runners to choose between the traditional in-person race on Thanksgiving morning or a virtual race on a course of your choosing. If health and safety concerns make it necessary to cancel the in-person race, all runners will be switched to the virtual option.
