Black Mountain Turkey Burner

The Black Mountain Turkey Burner Trail Race, held annually at Black Mountain Community Park in San Diego, California, is known as the most technical trail race in the Endurance Race Series' Sunshine Series. The event features a challenging half marathon with significant hill climbs on technical trails, alongside 10K and 5K races on less technical, groomed dirt trails with some climbing. Limited to 300 runners due to park guidelines, the race offers a festive atmosphere to "burn off that turkey" after Thanksgiving.

It serves as an ERS Championship qualifier and encourages carpooling due to limited parking. The race is a popular, competitive event attracting trail runners of various levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
