The Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run in Los Angeles offers a 5K, 10K, and half marathon, starting at Palisades Park. The in-person races take place in the morning. A 1-mile Family Fun Run is available for younger participants, and a virtual option exists for the main race distances.
This is a private group run with limited wave sizes, so registration may close once each wave is full. Runners and walkers of all speeds are welcome. Participants under 18 require a guardian. An eco-registration option is available for the 5K, 10K, and half marathon, allowing participants to forgo a t-shirt. The organizer uses the holiday theme "Wobble Before You Gobble." The event is presented as a pre-feast activity for families, friends, local runners, and individuals seeking a relaxed goal.
