About this adventure

The Rose Bowl Stadium holds its 9th annual Rose Bowl Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 26, 2026, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Runners, walkers, skippers and jumpers go around the 3.1-mile Rose Bowl Loop on a timed course that starts and finishes at the top of Lot K, at the corner of West Drive and Seco Street. The race is open to all ages; children under 12 must stay with a registered parent or legal guardian. Strollers are encouraged, leashed dogs are welcome and costumes are encouraged. Every participant receives a race bib and a finisher's medal, and there is a water station halfway around the route. Bib pickup is on Wednesday, November 25, from noon to 5 p.m. in Lot K, and from 6:30 a.m. on race day. Parking is free in Lots F and K. Entry fees are tax-deductible and go to the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation; in 2026 the stadium is also partnering with the Pasadena Unified School District through the Pasadena Educational Foundation to support PUSD athletics.
