MCRRC Turkey Burnoff 5 and 10-Mile Race

The MCRRC Turkey Burnoff, held in late November in Gaithersburg, Maryland, offers both 5-mile and 10-mile races. As part of the Montgomery County Road Runners Club series, it aligns with the local club-racing schedule rather than major city marathons. Both races commence at Seneca Creek State Park, providing a park environment instead of a downtown course. The 5-mile race covers 8.0 km, and the 10-mile race covers 16.1 km. This setup suits runners seeking a solid post-holiday run or a substantial club race without committing to a half marathon.
