Pacific Palisades Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk

Kick off the holiday season right with the inaugural Pacific Palisades Turkey Trot!

Taking place on Thanksgiving morning, the run will start at Pali High at 7:30am. The 5K (3.1 mi) course will take you through the El Medio Bluffs neighborhood and will offer stunning, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean before looping back and ending at the 50-yard line at the Stadium by the Sea on the Pali High campus. This is a fantastic course for runners of all ages and levels – bring the whole family and get some exercise so you can enjoy your turkey guilt-free!

The Pacific Palisades Turkey Trot will benefit Hearts With Hope, a UCLA initiative that provides medical, dental and humanitarian assistance to children with congenital heart disease in the underserved global community.

We’ll also be collecting canned and boxed food to donate to the Los Angeles Food Bank and encourage all runners to bring something to donate on Thanksgiving Day.
