25th Annual Father Joe's Villages Thanksgiving Day 5K
The event takes place on November 26, 2026 at Balboa Park, 1549 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, US. It is presented as San Diego’s original and longest-standing Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot and is held on the same date annually. The event benefits Father Joe’s Villages Food Services Programs, which provide over 700,000 meals each year.
Three participation options are offered: a competitive, chip-timed 5K with prizes for top finishers; a relaxed, untimed 5K suitable for walking, jogging, strollers and dogs; and a virtual at-home 5K that includes a race entry and a medal but does not include attendance at the in-person event. Registration for all options opens August 1, 2026 and closes September 14, 2026. Listed registration fees are $50 for the timed 5K, $45 for the fun run 5K, and $35 for the virtual 5K.
