About this race
Run. Walk. Gobble. Then go eat!
Start your Thanksgiving morning with your neighbors at the Rancho San Pasqual Turkey Trot!
Thanksgiving Morning • November 26, 2026 • 8:00 AM
Whether you're a serious runner, a casual walker, bringing the kids, or just looking for a fun way to earn your Thanksgiving feast, this event is for everyone. Gather your family, bring your friends, wear your best Thanksgiving spirit, and join us for a festive morning right here in our community.
🏃 THE 5K TURKEY TROT
Our 5K run/walk will wind through the community, giving you a chance to get moving, enjoy the morning, and celebrate with your neighbors. Run it, walk it, jog it, or do a little of all three. No expectations, no pressure. Just come have fun!
🦃 KIDS' GOBBLER
Our youngest turkeys can join in the fun with a short, kid-friendly run designed especially for them. Every little gobbler gets to be part of the Thanksgiving morning celebration!
🏅 REGISTER TO GET A MEDAL!
Registration helps us make sure we have enough medals and refreshments for everyone. Register before November 6th to receive a Turkey Trot medal.
❤️ A COMMUNITY TRADITION
We've been doing an informal Turkey Trot since COVID to bring neighbors together, get us moving, and start the holiday on a high note.
Registration is FREE!
Come run. Come walk. Come gobble.
