Kickstart your Thanksgiving holiday fun with friends and family at the 4th annual Encinitas Turkey Trot & Food Drive.

Last year 50 “Thanksgiving Meals in a Basket” – valued at $50 – were given to local military families through the Encinitas American Legion #416, and this year, the goal is to distribute 100 baskets to local families. Additionally, $2 per runner will be donated to the CRC.

Registration is now open – $46 for the 5K and $56 for the 10K. Each participant receives a soft cotton T-shirt and finisher’s medal. Water stations are provided throughout the course.

The costume contest is one of the most entertaining aspects of the event. Prizes will be awarded to the top three individual and group costumed participants who best display the spirit of the annual event.
