About This Race

San Diego’s original and longest-standing Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot benefits Father Joe’s Villages Food Services Programs, which provide over 700,000 meals annually. During this season of giving, we invite you to give back to our community and make an impact on people experiencing homelessness.
