Race Information
The O'side Turkey Trot is a popular annual run that takes place in Oceanside, just outside of San Diego. The run regularly attracts large fields of close to 10,000 runners who race along a scenic (mostly) waterfront course for the duration of the race.
Great weather and good crowds have made the Oceanside Turkey Trot one of the fastest and most popular events in the San Diego area. This year the event has gone virtual and partipants can run anywhere and anytime between November 14th and November 29th.
