About the Anaheim Turkey Trot 5K/10K

The course runs on the paved Santa Ana River Trail, an out-and-back route that shares space with cyclists and dog walkers on a typical morning. Angel Stadium sits alongside the route, and the finish area is tucked between the stadium and Honda Center. It is a flat trail run with a Thanksgiving theme, and there is pumpkin pie at the finish, along with street tacos and tamales.

Parking is in the Angel Stadium back lot, entered via Douglas Way off Katella, and requires proof of payment, either arranged in advance or paid in cash on-site to an attendant. Packet pickup happens at the registration booth near the start on race morning, with an early pickup option to be announced separately.

Common Questions About the Anaheim Turkey Trot 5K/10K

Will I finish last at the Anaheim Turkey Trot 5K/10K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:02, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:14:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Anaheim Turkey Trot 5K/10K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 737 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Anaheim Turkey Trot 5K/10K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 15:48 while the median finisher took 37:02. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
