Come one, come all! Turkeys, donkeys, runners, joggers & walkers of all ages, because Bailey's Annual Turkey Trot is going to be one you and the family won't want to miss! For the 2nd year in a row, the 285 Turkey Trot is being planned and organized by CRATES (Colorado Race and Timing Event Services) Colorado, a new small business born right here in Bailey. CRATES Colorado is Colorado's new premiere event services planning organization, specializing in fundraising events, race creation, event timing, course set-up & take-down and their newly added adventure service, "Guided donkey hikes with award winning miniature donkeys", based right here beautiful Bailey, CO.

Come join us for this annual family tradition, this year held on Saturday, November 21st, right here in beautiful Bailey, Colorado. Although this event is still a race, we encourage all walkers, joggers, and runners of all ages and skill levels to join us for a morning filled with family, fun festivities, yard games, local craft vendors and much more. CRATES Colorado is also thrilled to announce that we will be holding the race at a new location this year, Bailey's favorite local resort, the historic Glen Isle. We will offer five different distances for participants; a "1k kids loop" for athletes 11 years of age and under, a 5k division, a 10k division, the brand new "Pack-Burro division" and a "virtual division" for athletes who want to participate from a different location. Our 1k kids loop division will begin at 9AM, with the 5k, 10k & burro divisions beginning directly after the kids' race concludes.

This year's participants will receive a super cool finishers' award, a 2026 Turkey Trot themed technical racers shirt and a goodie-bag with tons of cool swag from our race sponsors. When we sell out of merchandise, we will open NO SWAG divisions for a reduced price, in hopes of allowing as many people to participate as possible. For all participants who attend in person, we will have a race-day expo right after the race with race day fun and many of our sponsors setting up booths with more goodies, items to purchase, info about their businesses, etc. Be sure to stop by and see what they are all about and support our local business community!

We would not be able to hold this event without the help of all of our amazing local sponsors! Potential event sponsors will be contacted in the near future, but if you are interested in sponsoring the event in any way, please send an email to Crates.Colorado@gmail.com
