Turkey Trot (Sunday) 5k, 10k, 15k, Half Marathon

Turkey Trot (Sunday) 5k, 10k, 15k, Half Marathon is held in Long Beach, California, on November 27, 2026, along the beach path at Belmont Shore. Four distances are on the program, all open to runners and walkers: a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 15K (9.3 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles). Check-in is near 54th Place, water fountains are available along the route, finishers receive a medal and a goody bag, and results and photos are posted online afterward.

The four-distance format lets you match the day to your training rather than the other way around. The half marathon rewards a 12- to 16-week build with a long run reaching 10 or 11 miles; the 15K and 10K suit runners with a steady base who want a sustained effort; the 5K is open to anyone. Strollers are allowed but dogs are not, early start options can be requested, and parking and restrooms are worth planning in advance. There are no refunds and unregistered participants are not permitted.
