Record Attendance As Tri-Valley Flocks To Turkey Burn's Return

PLEASANTON, CA — The annual Tri-Valley Turkey Burn took a break in 2020 due to the pandemic, but it appeared residents were eager to complete the family fun run once more.

More than 2,100 people attended the 5K/10K run at Ken Mercer Sports Park in Pleasanton, said event organizer Pleasanton North Rotary Club & Foundation last week on its website. The Livermore Independent first reported the news.

This year marked the 7th annual Tri-Valley Turkey Burn, which has become a post-Thanksgiving tradition in the community.

The event raised $15,500 to fund the rotary's youth service programs thanks to its 26 sponsors.

Rotarians said next year's event "will be even bigger and better next year."
