Turkey Trot

Meet us in the paddock by the main gate and walk, run, or wobble down the Corkscrew to earn that extra helping of stuffing. Bring non-perishable food items or $10 per person for donations to the Monterey County Food Bank. 

You can go around the track as many times as you'd like from 7 am - 11 am. Bring the whole family and dogs are permitted on a leash. (Please clean up after them!)
