About this adventure
Start Thanksgiving morning with breathtaking views of the downtown San Diego skyline and the soaring curves of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge at the Coronado 5K Turkey Trot. Hosted at bayside Tidelands Park by the Coronado Unit of the Rady Children's Hospital Auxiliary, this uplifting family tradition follows flat, paved pedestrian paths alongside the tranquil bay waters. The untimed and timed friendly waves make it stress-free for toddlers, grandparents, and parents with jogging strollers. Kids receive fun turkey-themed medals and finisher ribbons, with wholesome post-run snacks and fruit served on the green park lawns while raising vital charitable funds for pediatric healthcare.
