About this adventure

Kick off Thanksgiving with the warmest neighborhood gathering in the East Bay! Centered at Piedmont's picturesque Exedra Plaza on Highland Avenue, the annual Piedmont Turkey Trot unites generations of East Bay families, grandparents, strollers, and costumed dogs for a spirited 5K course winding through historic tree-lined avenues. A dedicated 3-block Kids Fun Run gives children ages 2 to 10 a thrilling, low-pressure dash where every young runner earns a commemorative medal and holiday ribbon. The family-friendly festival at the plaza features festive music, photo booths with giant turkey cutouts, and cider stations. Proceeds support athletic and wellness programs for local public high school and middle school youth.
