About the 2026 Pacific Palisades Turkey Trot
The course starts and finishes at the football field of a local charter high school on Thanksgiving morning. Both distance options share the same start, so the field fills with a wide range of paces before the gun. Medical staff are on site, and water is available at the finish.
Parking is spread across the surrounding neighborhood streets, and the organizers specifically ask anyone who lives nearby to walk in. Packet registration is handled on the football field itself, where you can also find the finish line setup. Dogs are not permitted on the field.
