Thankful Paws Turkey Trot - Bonita
The Thankful Paws Turkey Trot is a community running event held on Thanksgiving morning at Rohr Park in Bonita, California. It is the second annual edition and includes multiple distance events that recognize pets and support a local animal rescue.
Event distances:
- 10K Run
- 5K Run/Walk
- Kids 1 Mile
- Dog Mile
The course runs through Rohr Park and alongside the golf course. The 5K follows a single loop; the 10K follows two loops, so 5K participants and dogs may encounter passing 10K runners on the second loop. The Dog Mile is presented as a tribute to current and past pets; all dogs receive a finisher medal and must finish ahead of their owner or handler. Handlers should use a 3–5 foot leash, bring doggy bags and water, and be mindful of other dogs. Aggressive or reactive dogs are prohibited and any dog that lunges at or attacks another dog or person will be disqualified and removed from the course.
A portion of event proceeds benefits Kane's K9s & Animal Rescue to help fund veterinary care, food, shelter, and rehoming services for rescue animals. Pre-race bib pickup is available the day before the event at Road Runner Sports in Chula Vista. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
