Best Turkey Trots In Orange County

This is by far one of my favorite Orange County Turkey Trots, and I look forward to it every year! This is an excellent run to do before you start celebrating Thanksgiving Day, and definitely a holiday tradition in the city of Dana Point. The turkey trot is a flat scenic course around Dana Point Harbor. They offer four different runs, and it’s very family-friendly. Participants get a commemorative shirt, a finishers medal, a race bib, and a virtual goodie bag. Proceeds from the event will go to the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group. This is a great cause that provides outreach for the benefit of our wounded, Families of our Fallen, Marines, and their families. There are free shuttle pick-ups at Dana Point High School.

Here are the start times for the different races:

• 7 am – 10k race

• 8:30 am – 5k first race

• 9:15 am – Costume Contest at the Start Line

• 9:30 am- 5k second race

• 10:15 am – Gobble Wobble Kids Event (2-12 ages) Parents can walk alongside their children during the race.
