REDLANDS, Calif. — The 14th annual Redlands Turkey Trot will return Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, Nov. 26, bringing runners and walkers together for a 5K race and children's fun run benefiting local schools and charitable organizations.
The event begins and ends near Ted Runner Stadium at the University of Redlands, with a course winding through Sylvan Park and the university campus.
The Kids 1K Fun Run, open to children 12 and younger, begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by the 5K run and walk at 8 a.m. Check-in and race-day registration open at 6:30 a.m. at the intersection of North University Street and East Brockton Avenue.
Registration costs $39 for the 5K with a canned food donation or $44 without a donation. The Kids 1K costs $23. Donated food will benefit Inland Harvest, a nonprofit that distributes surplus food to hunger-relief programs throughout the Inland Empire.
Organized by Phoenix Hope International in partnership with the Redlands Educational Partnership, the event directs 100% of net proceeds to charitable causes.
Half of the race proceeds support classroom grants for teachers and principals at Redlands Unified School District schools through the Redlands Educational Partnership. Proceeds also benefit Inland Harvest and Phoenix Hope International, which supports health, education and economic development projects in underserved communities.
Redlands Community Hospital is the event's presenting sponsor.
The 5K course travels through Sylvan Park and tree-lined streets surrounding the University of Redlands before finishing on the grass near Ted Runner Stadium. Strollers are permitted, but dogs are not allowed on the course. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes.
The 5K will be chip-timed, with awards presented at 9 a.m. to the top three overall finishers and the top three runners in each age group.
Participants can pick up race packets and shirts at the Redlands YMCA on Tuesday, Nov. 24, and Wednesday, Nov. 25. Race shirts are guaranteed for those who register by Nov. 24.
New this year, participants can park in the Ted Runner Stadium parking lot near the start and finish lines. Several university roads will be temporarily closed for the event.
Registration remains open until the start of each race.
