LAPD SFG CSP & Guardian Angel Annual Turkey Trot

LAPD SFG CSP & Guardian Angel Annual Turkey Trot is held in Los Angeles, California, on November 21, 2026, with a 5K starting at 6:00 a.m. The annual turkey trot is organized by the Los Angeles Police Department's Community Safety Partnership Bureau (CSP) together with the officers of San Fernando Gardens and Guardian Angel church. The 5K course is designed to be suitable for participants of all levels.

An early-morning 5K like this is well suited to families, neighbors, and first-time runners who want a manageable distance with a community feel. If you are new to running, a month of three easy outings a week, mixing jogging and walking, is enough to cover 3.1 miles comfortably. More experienced runners can use it as a fast effort to close the fall, adding one short-interval workout a week in the lead-up. Because the start is at 6:00 a.m., set your alarm early, keep pre-race food light, and take a few minutes to jog and loosen up before the gun.
