2026 Seal Beach Turkey Trot

The Seal Beach Turkey Trot is a running event held on a Saturday in November in Seal Beach, California, starting and finishing on Main Street. It is associated with the Thanksgiving season, provides four race choices, and is designed as a family-friendly morning, not exclusively for competitive runners. The courses are flat and fast, featuring ocean views that contribute to the route's local charm. Financial Partners Credit Union sponsors the race, which has been held for multiple editions. It attracts participants seeking to begin the holiday period with a casual community run, a walk, or a shorter family distance before the day's festivities on Main Street.
