Event
The Tooele Turkey Trail Trot takes place in Tooele, UT on November 29, 2025. The race is run as repeated laps of a set loop: each lap is 3.5 miles with 700 ft of elevation gain. A new lap begins on the hour, every hour, and each subsequent lap is run in the opposite direction from the previous one. Runners who take an hour or longer to complete a lap are eliminated; the last official finisher within the allotted time each lap is removed from the field. The event can include up to ten laps; if two or more runners remain for the 10th lap, they compete for finishing places.
Course and logistics
The loop follows Bates Canyon Rd east for 0.5 miles, then splits southeast for another 0.5 mile. Just past the 1-mile mark the route climbs "Kill Hill" and follows a split-rail fence south for about 100 yards. At mile 1.25 there is a hairpin turn north onto double-track that meets Bates Canyon Rd again around mile 1.8. After 0.2 miles east, the course turns northwest for an 0.8-mile descent on the wooded "BBC" trail, then reconnects with Bates Canyon Rd for a 0.5-mile return to the Start/Finish Area. Basic ultra food and drink are provided at the Start/Finish Area; participants may bring their own food and keep clothing or gear in vehicles parked at the area. The top three men and women receive a modest award. Registration closes Thu, Nov 27. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
