Historically, this “Turkey Trot Run” has been organized by “Trail Runners Club” for free for the community since the early 80’s and we are keeping this tradition going, in honor of our club founders and leaders of the past.

This run starts in Santa Ynez Canyon in Palisades Highlands. After a flat run through a cool, lush canyon, we climb to a fire road above Trippet Ranch. We continue up the fire road around Eagle Peak, along a level stretch with good San Fernando Valley and Ocean views and then drop down through Trailer Canyon to return to the starting point. It’s been a long time Thanksgiving Day tradition for the Trail Runners Club.
