Thanksgiving Turkey Gobble Trot 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES

Thanksgiving Turkey Gobble Trot 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES is a holiday-themed run and walk based at Palisades Park in the Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica area of Los Angeles, California, on November 28, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, 5K and one-mile family fun run all start at 7:30 a.m., and the field takes in every level. Registration covers a finisher medal, a race shirt, a finisher towel and a digital training pack, and virtual options are available.

The digital training pack is a hint about the intended audience: this is a road event that expects a good share of first-timers. If the half is new to you, give it ten to twelve weeks with one long run each week and treat the day as a completion goal. Experienced runners can use the 10K as a fast holiday-weekend effort and be finished before mid-morning.
