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.
