The event typically draws between 1,000 and 5,000 participants, creating a busy, community-focused atmosphere. The courses are noted for being fast and flat, suitable for beginners, families, and those aiming for a consistent pace. The half marathon is not a Boston Qualifier.

The Thanksgiving Turkey Gobble Trot is a Sacramento run and walk held at Sutter's Landing Regional Park during the Thanksgiving season. Runners and walkers can choose a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, and there is also a virtual option for people who want to cover the distance on their own. The event is built for families and casual participants as much as regular runners, with all ages and paces welcome and under-18s needing a guardian. The setup is simple: pick a distance, bring friends or family, and run or walk before the holiday meal. The organizer leans into the Thanksgiving theme with the line “run so we can feast,” and the event is promoted as a community outing rather than a race that demands special gear or experience. Coordinators are on hand to support participants, which fits the relaxed format and makes the longer distances less intimidating for people setting a holiday fitness goal.
