Stuffed Turkey Endurance Race

The Stuffed Turkey Endurance Races

The Stuffed Turkey Endurance Races take place at Jester Park, Granger, Iowa, with the start at Jester Park Equestrian Center and the listed address 12130 NW 128th St. The course is 100 percent trail with small rolling hills and extended flat sections. Each loop has about 455 feet of elevation gain, totaling approximately 4,550 feet of ascent and descent for the 100 mile distance.

The event offers multiple distances:

• 100 Miler
• 50 Miler
• 50K
• 10 Miler

The 50K, 50 Mile, and 100 Mile distances are UTMB index races. Aid stations are located at mile 5 and at the mile 10 start/finish area. Organizers describe the aid stations as fully stocked but basic; examples include pizza, pop, rice and beans, potatoes, Gatorade, and GU. This is a cupless event; paper cups will not be supplied and participants should bring their own cups, bottles, or packs for refilling. Personal nutrition is recommended.

For the 100 miler a pacer may be picked up at the start of the sixth lap (mile 50). Multiple pacers are permitted provided each completes one 10-mile loop. Dogs, bicycle pacers, and other non-human assists are not allowed except by case-by-case approval for participants with physical or mental disabilities.

Packet pickup is available at Fleet Feet Des Moines, 521 E Locust St, Des Moines, IA. Day-of-race entries are not accepted. Organizers set an order deadline for guaranteed shirts and finishers items; entries after that date are not guaranteed shirts or swag. Registration closes Thu, Nov 19 @ 11:59PM CT.
