Sponsors cover the cost of the race so every entry fee can go to Redlands schools and local charities. In return, you're on the shirt, the bibs, the banners, and this site, in front of the most local crowd Redlands gathers all year.
The Turkey Trot has grown from about 2,000 participants in 2018 to 5,000 runners in 2025, plus the family and friends who line the course and pack the finish. It's a hometown field.
Your logo is on a shirt people wear around town all winter, on a bib in every finish-line photo, and on a website families check every November.
That split is the whole model. Sponsor dollars and in-kind donations cover timing, permits, shirts, and race-day logistics.
Every dollar of participant proceeds then goes to charity: half to teacher and principal grants across Redlands Unified through the Redlands Educational Partnership, with the rest supporting Inland Harvest and Phoenix Hope International. Sponsorship checks are made out to the Redlands Educational Partnership, a registered nonprofit.
