City of Commerce 5K Turkey Trot

City of Commerce 5K Turkey Trot takes place in Commerce, California, on November 14, 2026. The event is a single road 5K starting at 8:00 AM, listed as the Commerce Residents 5K, which suggests a city-run community race aimed at local residents; registration categories may reflect that, so verify eligibility when you sign up if you live outside the city.

A turkey trot 5K is a great low-pressure goal for the fall: it works as a first race, a family outing, or a sharp tune-up ahead of Thanksgiving. If you are starting from scratch, eight weeks of walk/run sessions three times a week will get you to 3.1 miles. Experienced runners can use it as a fast effort at the end of a base-building phase, adding strides after easy runs and one weekly tempo session. Arrive early to warm up, since 8:00 AM comes quickly on a Saturday.
