Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest Turkey Trot in Southern California?
The Dana Point Turkey Trot is one of the largest in the western US and is very family-friendly, with a kids' 1-mile Gobble Wobble (ages 2–12) alongside the 5K/10K/15K. Other big ones include the OC Turkey Trot (Irvine), Justin Rudd's Long Beach Turkey Trot, Turkey Trot LA, the Rose Bowl Turkey Trot, and Father Joe's run in San Diego's Balboa Park.
Are Turkey Trots good for kids?
Yes — most have a short kids' dash or fun run (Dana Point's Gobble Wobble, Long Beach's WingDing, OC's Tot Trot), and the longer 5Ks are usually stroller- and walker-friendly. They're a fun, active family tradition before Thanksgiving dinner. Register in advance, as popular trots fill up.
