About this adventure

The Redlands Turkey Trot is a cherished East Valley family tradition centered at Sylvan Park near the University of Redlands Ted Runner Stadium. Thousands of residents and visitors don pilgrim hats and turkey plumage to navigate historic tree-lined avenues and the collegiate campus before their Thanksgiving gatherings. The event features a dedicated Kids 1K Fun Run around the park grounds where every young child earns a ribbon and medal, alongside the chip-timed 5K run and untimed stroller-friendly walk. 100% of race proceeds benefit Redlands public schools and local charitable foundations.
