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.

The Big Bear Turkey Trot starts and finishes at Dank Donuts in the Moonridge Corridor of Big Bear Lake, California. This is a Thanksgiving Day 3-mile fun run or walk on pavement, open to all ages with strollers permitted. The morning begins with registration and check-in, followed by a brief Holiday Warmup Yoga session before the Turkey Trot commences. Adult and youth entries require payment, the Kids Run is free, and local residents receive a small discount with ID at packet pickup. The route winds through the pines, incorporates the Rathbun Creek Trail, and includes a lap around the Moonridge Zoo. The atmosphere leans towards a holiday outing rather than intense competition: families, walkers, runners, children, stroller users, and costumed participants are all part of the event. Open Air Big Bear organizes the event, and the finish line transforms into a Danksgiving Celebration featuring live holiday music, adult beverages, festive aid station refreshments, awards, and a costume contest with prizes.
