Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for signing up for the 1st Dobson Ranch Turkey Trot! We appreciate your enthusiasm and are excited to have you join us Thanksgiving morning. Below are trot day instructions to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable experience on the day of the trot.

We ask you to please read this entire email, but will give you a quick reference overview here:

Start time is 7:00am

Check in starts at 6:30am

Check in is located behind Laguna Park sign

🦃 Please have your tickets open on your phone or printed for the simplest check in.

🦃 Tickets will be scanned at the back of the monument sign facing Laguna Azul Ave. Once scanned, a gold event bracelet will be given for every registered attendant collecting a finish line medal. In order to collect your medals you will need to turn in your band so please wear them or put them somewhere they won’t be lost.

🦃 Once checked in and banded, you will proceed to the start line at the ramada. The start line will be released at 7am. We will be able to process check ins from 6:30 to 7:15 that morning.

🦃 The path is included on a map below and takes about 25 minutes at a leisurely speed to complete. There will also be safety cones along the path after it leaves the lakefront to keep you headed back to the finish line.

🦃 We will welcome you back to the start line to finish and collect your hard earned treasure. Trot squad staff will be placed at the ramada tables to collect your bands and hand over that precious gold medal.
