What better way to kick off Thanksgiving day than with a 5K run or walk?! A favorite annual tradition in O’side, the Turkey Trot welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The race features a costume contest, a largest teams’ competition, finisher medals for all participants, and live entertainment throughout the course. Even better? The course is 50% downhill with epic ocean views. Proceeds benefit the Move Your Feet Before You Eat Foundation, which is helping to solve the healthcare crisis one step at a time.
