Event details
The Tooele Turkey Trail Trot 'Til You Drop is scheduled for 29 November 2025 at Bates Canyon Trailhead in Erda, UT (Bates Canyon Rd). The event runs up to 10 hours and uses a repeated-loop format called BBC/"Kill Hill" Loops. A new lap begins each hour; runners must complete each loop within 59:59 or be removed from that lap. Odd laps are run counter-clockwise and even laps are run clockwise. The final lap is raced for time to determine placements. The top three men and women in each event receive a modest award. Registration fees are non-refundable and transfers are not permitted; entrants who cannot attend may defer their registration if they inform the organizers by 27 November.
Course and start/finish area
Each lap is approximately 3.5 miles with roughly 700 ft of vertical gain. From the Start/Finish (4,600 ft) the route follows Bates Canyon Rd, includes a steep sandy climb called "Kill Hill" (about 160 ft of gain over 0.1 mile), a hairpin turn, wooded double-track sections, and a downed descent back to the Start/Finish. Surface conditions in late November may be dirt or snow. The Start/Finish area will have hot and cold food and drink available, and runners may leave a personal drop bag at the start or their vehicle.
