Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO

Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO takes place in San Diego, California, on November 28, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all begin at 7:30 a.m. Runners and walkers of every level are welcome, timing is optional, and your entry brings a race shirt, a finisher medal and further items sent to your address, with a virtual option for anyone who cannot attend.

Four distances leaving at once is convenient for groups but crowded at the front, so line up by realistic pace rather than by ambition. On the training side, the half is the only distance that punishes an unprepared runner: ten to twelve weeks of steady road mileage with a weekly long run is the baseline. Everything shorter fits comfortably into a normal week without a taper.
