49th Annual Dana Point Turkey Trot

About this event

One of Southern California's biggest Thanksgiving morning races takes over Dana Point Harbor with 10K and 5K runs, a family walk-run and a costume contest at the start line.

Little ones get their own 1-mile Gobble Wobble for ages 2–12, and a vendor expo keeps the party going after the finish.
