Thankful Paws Turkey Trot

Thankful Paws Turkey Trot

Join us for the first annual Turkey Trot – Thankful Paws 5K/10K Run on Thanksgiving morning at Rohr Park, in the beautiful city of Bonita, located in Chula Vista, CA. This special day is dedicated to giving thanks to our pets—past and present—for the joy, love, and companionship they've brought into our lives and homes. Enjoy a scenic course alongside a golf course and vibrant community park—perfect for both serious runners and casual participants. Whether you're chasing a PR on a fast course or simply looking for a joyful way to start your holiday, this event has something for everyone. We’re offering a 5K, 10K, Kids’ Mile, and our always-popular Doggy Mile! Bring the whole family—including your four-legged friends—and kick off your Thanksgiving with a fun, active, and festive tradition. All proceeds benefit Kane's Animal Rescue, a local nonprofit dedicated to giving abandoned and at-risk pets a second chance at life. So, while you're breaking a sweat, you're also making a difference. Come trot with us, give thanks, and support a great cause—because every step helps save a paw.
