Oakland First
More than just a healthy start to the holiday, the Oakland Turkey Trot 5K run/walk is a fun way to give back while you give thanks. In partnership with the Mayor’s Office, Alameda County Community Food Bank, Oakland Education Fund and local sponsors and charities, we are honored to bring Oakland a Thanksgiving Day community fitness event that is Oakland first.
Our goal is to bring you an authentic local experience that is fun, inclusive and promotes healthy living in our community, while raising impactful funds for neighbors in need.
