Redlands Turkey Trot

The Redlands Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K run/walk held in Redlands, California, featuring a Kids 1K Fun Run prior to the main event. The race begins early, with the children's run at 7:30 a.m. and the 5K at 8:00 a.m., allowing participants to be active before their holiday meal. The event is centered around Sylvan Park, with the start and finish lines located at University Street and Brockton Avenue, close to the University of Redlands. The 5K course winds through Redlands streets and includes sections of the University of Redlands campus, contributing to its distinct college-town atmosphere instead of a standard neighborhood route. The race is professionally timed, offering awards to the top three overall finishers and winners in various age groups. The Redlands Educational Partnership Foundation and Redlands Sunrise Rotary Club are the organizers, with all proceeds benefiting Redlands schools and local charities.
