LA Turkey Trail - Los Angeles, CA

LA Turkey Trail - Los Angeles, CA runs on November 26, 2026, in Los Angeles, California. The half marathon (13.1 miles) leaves at 7:00 AM, and the 10K and the 5K fun run and hike follow together at 7:30 AM. All three are trail events, so this is a Thanksgiving morning spent on dirt above the city rather than on closed streets.

The 5K is explicitly a run-or-hike option, which makes it a real entry point for anyone bringing family or coming back from a break. Move up to the 10K once you can cover an hour on trail comfortably. The half deserves respect: Southern California trails climb early and often, and a 7:00 AM start means running the first miles cool and the last ones warm. Carry water even for the 10K.
