About the RANCHO SAN PASQUAL TURKEY TROT 2026
The Rancho San Pasqual Turkey Trot winds through the neighborhood on Thanksgiving morning, which gives it a different feel from a road race with strangers. The route is designed to move at whatever pace you bring, and a short kid-friendly course runs alongside the main event for younger participants.
Registration is free, and there is a kids' distance alongside the main course. Post-race refreshments are part of the plan, so you can take the edge off before the main meal later in the day.
