7th Annual Turtle Trot

Saturday, June 6th, 2026, 9 am – Noon

Join us at Willow-Witt Ranch for The CREST’s 7th Annual Turtle Trot—a true trail race with heart (and breakfast)! Choose the 5K or 10K on rolling singletrack through meadows, wetlands, oak woodlands, and native conifer forest, or bring the whole family for a joyful Fun Run for all ages.

Come run, walk, or trot your way around the meadows of Willow-Witt Ranch, knowing your participation supports a great cause; all proceeds benefit The Crest’s programs and further our mission of cultivating connection between people and nature.
