Concord Turkey Trot 2026

Diablo Valley Federal Credit Union (DVFCU) is pleased to welcome you to our information page about the Concord Turkey Trot, a 5K run/walk benefiting Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa.

The event will take place at Newhall Park on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 26, 2026, at 8 AM.  For the safety and enjoyment of all participants, registration for this event is capped at 2,000 participants.  Everyone participating in the 5K run/walk course must have a paid registration, with the exception of children 2 years old and under, who will be in a stroller for the duration of the event. 

The course includes varied terrain, including grass fields, park pathways, and city streets. Those participating with strollers or pets will be asked to enter at the back of the start area so as not to impede those wishing to race for time. All 5K Run/Walk Participants will receive a tech t-shirt and a medal!

The race will take place rain or shine.  Once your registration has been paid, there are no refunds. This includes inclement weather or any other reason, such as injuries, illness, or personal emergencies.  

Packet Pickup for the 5K Run/Walk will be held at Sports Basement, 1881 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek at the following times: Tuesday, November 24 and Wednesday, November 25, 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM

Late packet pickup will be held at Newhall Park from 6:45 AM to 7:45 AM on race morning (Thursday November 26).  We cannot delay the start of the race due to a long line at packet pickup.  Therefore, it is highly recommended that you pick up your packet at Sports Basement on November 24 or 25.

All packets for the Kids Run presented by Liberty Gymnastics will be available at the Liberty Gymnastics table at Newhall Park on race morning only.
