Tim & Jeannie Hamann Foundation Benicia Hand Up Turkey Trot

Tim & Jeannie Hamann Foundation Benicia Hand Up Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day run in Benicia, California, on November 26, 2026. The event offers a single format, the Benicia Hand Up Turkey Trot, a 2-mile course starting at 8:00 a.m. The name reflects its connection to the Tim & Jeannie Hamann Foundation.

Two miles is a short, welcoming distance, which makes this a good choice for families, first-time participants and walkers who want to be part of a holiday tradition without committing to a 5K. Experienced runners can use it as a brisk tempo effort or a relaxed shakeout before the day's festivities. No special training block is required; a few weeks of easy running or walking two or three times a week is enough to cover the distance comfortably. Arrive a little before the 8:00 a.m. start to check in, warm up and settle in with the rest of the Benicia crowd.
