Irvine/Orange County Turkey Trot 5K & 1 Mile 2026

The Irvine/Orange County Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving-themed 5K and 1-mile event held in Orange County in November. The 5K course is flat, and the atmosphere is relaxed, allowing participants to run hard, jog, walk, trot, or push a stroller from the back of the start area. The race embraces the holiday spirit without requiring costumes: runners may dress according to the theme or wear standard running attire. All participants receive a custom Turkey Trot medal and a festive short-sleeve technical shirt, with parking and refreshments included in the race-day arrangements.
