2025 Dana Point Turkey Trot

2025 Dana Point Turkey Trot


Join us for the 48th Annual Dana Point Turkey Trot this Thanksgiving Day in the Dana Point Harbor! 

Produced by the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce, the Dana Point Turkey Trot is one of the nation's largest turkey trots. Named one of America's best Thanksgiving Day runs by Fitness Magazine, the Dana Point Turkey Trot has become an Orange County tradition, attracting 11,000 participants to its 5K, 10K, Combo 10K/5K, Kids' 1-Mile Gobble Wobble, and two-day expo.

Register for the Race


Celebrating 48 years, the Dana Point Turkey Trot is the premier trot in Southern California and is the perfect place to bring your family to run the race before you stuff your face. The Dana Point Turkey Trot is a USA Track & Field (USATF) sanctioned and certified event.

Tour the beautiful beach, majestic cliffs and coves of Dana Point. Enjoy pounding surf, rugged cliffs, and cool ocean breezes as you trot through the Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach. From beginners to elite runners, this event is for everyone!

Since its inception, the Dana Point Turkey Trot has donated over half a million dollars to nonprofit organizations. A portion of each registration will benefit local nonprofit organizations: Dana Point Historical Society, Dana Point Women's Club for Project Foster, and YMCA of Orange County.
