## About

Greet Thanksgiving morning amidst the towering eucalyptus groves and crisp Pacific breezes of Golden Gate Park! Held at the historic Polo Field, this beloved San Francisco family tradition features the 5-Mile Turkey Trail Trot, the 3-Mile Pilgrim Pacer Walk, and the spirited 100-meter and 400-meter Kids Winged Sprint for young athletes ages 10 and under. Costumed runners dressed as turkeys, pilgrims, and cranberries create a vibrant spectacle along the dirt trails and paved roads.

The course begins and finishes at the track surrounding the Polo Field, offering smooth, wide surfaces that accommodate all-terrain running strollers on the 3-mile walk. Every registered child takes home a finisher medal, personal bib, and post-race holiday snacks. Proceeds support the Lowell High School Track & Field team and local parks conservation. Arrive early via Fulton St or Lincoln Way for convenient park parking.
