Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Sports Salt Lake

November 26, 2026Bountiful UtahTurkey 10K 8:00 AMFamily 5K – 8:00 AMGobbler 1K – 9:00 AMTurkey 10KThe 10K race route will begin at the front of the Recreation Facility and will turn out onto 200 West, heading north until Pages Lane. Runners will turn west and continue on, following the Race signs and volunteers on course. There will be two aid stations along the race route. There will not be any portable stations. The 10K and 5K racers will line up in groups of 10 and have a stagger start behind the start line. The chip read will begin once the participant crosses the Start line. Please stay on the sidewalk or in the bike lane, when running the course as much as is possible. Use caution and common sense when racing.Family 5KThis course is used for all of our 5K races! If you’ve run with us before, it’s fairly easy…. All right hand turns and pretty flat! There will be one aid station about ½ way on race course, which will provide water, Gatorade and first aid to any in need. It is located at the halfway point of Porter Lane (1600 N) and Main Street. Facemasks are required at packet pick up and when lining up to start. They can be removed once you have crossed the start line. We do not close any roads for our races, please be safe and know the course!Gobbler 1KThe 1K starts in the parking lot behind our facility. Look for a large sign, a turkey costume, and chalk, indicating the starting line for our 1K. The route goes around our facility and ends back in the same parking lot it started in. We ask that all 1K racers stay on the sidewalk, know where to go, (the course), and have an adult accompany them if they are under 5 years old. Please ensure your child, 5 and older, has a face mask on when lining up to start the race. All 1K racers should pay extra close attention to our parking lot entrances! We have volunteers staffed there to direct traffic, but racers need to be aware of their surroundings and cars.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
