Turkey Trot

Turkey Trot

Nov. 24, 2016

More than 7,500 runners and walkers are expected to lace up their sneakers for Father Joe’s Villages’ Thanksgiving Day 5K. Proceeds from San Diego’s original turkey trot will help the nonprofit prepare and serve more than one million meals to San Diego’s homeless. Participants of all ages will follow the iconic, dog-friendly route through Balboa Park to reach a family-friendly festival at the finish line. Following the morning run/walk, the group will enjoy a live blues band, refreshments, a beer garden, and a costume contest. Canine participants are welcome in the festival’s dog area, while children can get creative with crafts and meet their favorite Disney-inspired characters. thanksgivingrun.org
