Thanksgiving Turkey Trots 2019: Guide to Best In Orange County

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — The festive "gobble-wobbles" — Thanksgiving Day turkey trots — continue to grow in popularity in cities, big and small, throughout Orange County and statewide.

The races vary, and many are family-friendly with costumes contests, "Little Turkey" runs, kids' activities and various charities and causes attached as beneficiaries.

If this is your family's standing tradition, view 2019 dates, times and registration information, as some have limited space or discounts for early sign-ups. And if not a tradition, give it a thought. ... Something new for your Thanksgiving holiday?

Do note event dates, however, as not all races and fun-runs occur on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28.

Scroll though our annual guide, find a turkey trot near you, and Happy Thanksgiving from Patch!

NOTE: Double-check to confirm your chosen race is still planned, as there is always a possibility some may be canceled due to poor air quality or weather.
