Dana Point has already surpassed 10,000 participants for its annual Thanksgiving “Turkey Trot” races, with many more expected to show up in support of runners on the scenic Dana Point Harbor Drive overlooking the ocean and the Marina.
Hosted by the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce, the event runs from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m, featuring 5K, 10K, and a children-friendly one-mile race to raise funds for local nonprofits. Also on hand will be the event’s signature costume contest, photo sessions with its turkey mascot “Drumstick,” and festive vendor stalls.
