Why come run the Fat Turkey Trail Run? First, you've probably eaten too much. Second, it's in the red rocks of Papago Park. Most of all, because it's fun for the whole family! Bonus fun if you wear your own Turkey Suit!

Shannon Lindner About Us Image

Shannon Lindner

An almost Phoenix native, Shannon craves sunshine and adventure. Originally a mountain biker who found trail running in the foothills of the Rockies while going to school in Boulder, Colorado. She competed in her first XTERRA Triathlon in 2002 and was hooked.

Jake Hernandez about us image

Jake Hernandez

A lifelong runner and Arizona native, Jake is no stranger to the trails around the Valley and beyond. You can often find him running the trails of Phoenix’s South Mountain, though sometimes he hops on wheels, gravel riding anywhere and everywhere he can. And, yes, that ridiculous mustache is real.
