Temecula, CA
The course is flat and quick, which makes Thanksgiving morning feel manageable before the meal. The race has a food drive built into it, so most people show up with a bag of canned goods for a local food pantry. A costume contest runs alongside the timed race, and enough people dress up that the start line has some genuine spectacle to it.
