About the race

The Running of the Turkeys 5K & 10K Trail Run takes place at Torrey Hills Neighborhood Park in San Diego on 11/26/2026. The event offers on-site and virtual options and is organized as a no-frills trail run with no official timing and no parking fees.

The course follows wide dirt trails with rolling hills and a waterfall view near the halfway point. The event is cupless; participants are asked to bring a water bottle or hydration pack if they want water on course.

Check in is open at Torrey Hills Park from 7:00 to 7:30 AM, followed by a short briefing and a walk of about half a mile to the start/finish area. The organizer requests a minimum donation of $20 per person to support Operation Rebound, a division of the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

Distances:

  • 10K for runners only due to a time cutoff.
  • 5K open to runners and walkers; walkers are asked to sign up for this distance.
  • Virtual 5K and Virtual 10K options available for remote participants.

Registration for on-site and virtual options is free; the organizer notes voluntary donation support for the partner charity. The event materials note that virtual participants can share photos to connect with the community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
