Black Mountain Turkey Burner Trail Race
The Black Mountain Turkey Burner Trail Race takes place on November 28, 2026, at Black Mountain Ranch Park in San Diego, California. The event is presented as the 11th annual running of the race and uses Black Mountain Community Park for both the start and finish. The race is limited to 300 runners due to new park guidelines.
The event offers three distances and varied terrain. The half marathon includes very technical trail sections and significant climbing, while the 10K and 5K use less technical climbing on groomed dirt trails. All courses are primarily dirt and follow out and back formats with hill climbing.
