Black Mountain Turkey Burner

The Black Mountain Turkey Burner Trail Race is scheduled for November 28, 2026 at Black Mountain Ranch Park, 14700 Carmel Valley Rd, San Diego, CA. The event is presented as the 11th annual running of this trail race and all runners start and finish at Black Mountain Community Park. The race is limited to 300 entrants due to park guidelines.

Distances offered:

  • Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
  • 10K
  • 5K

Course characteristics vary by distance. Routes are out and back with notable hill climbing on dirt surfaces, and they use a mix of service road and single track. The half marathon includes more sustained climbing on technical trail sections, while the 10K and 5K use less technical groomed dirt trail. Some courses include aid stations; provisions vary by distance.

Event logistics note that main parking is at the community park and is limited. Secondary parking is available on neighborhood streets about half a mile away. There is no event parking in the Glider Port parking lot across the street.

The event is an ERS Championship qualifier. Past editions include published results and photo galleries for reference. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
