THANKSGIVING DAY 2025 The 18th Annual Petaluma Turkey Trot is healthy, family-friendly, and fun! No fee, quick registration and photo shares. All PROCEEDS go directly to redwood empire food bank Please make a donation to the Redwood Empire Food Bank with a simple click during registration. NEW COURSE ADDED IN 2025! 5K and 5M. Our partners are AQUS Community, and the City of Petaluma. The trot started 18 years ago when founder Mary Dooley was looking for a community run to participate in on Thanksgiving morning. Since no such run was to be found, there was only one choice: start one and design a route that would excite and delight. She invited the whole community to trot around in nature and feel darn good about a calorie burn before the big feast. The Turkey Trot is not just a walk in the park (though walkers are welcome). The first year a group of 20 runners came out, the next year 30, then 50 trotters. We are up to a 1000 trotters! Dogs on leash and pick up! Stay on trails. Keep to the right on trails. Carry identification/Include any medical information. Always stay alert and aware of what’s going on around you. Make way for faster Trotters. Bring your own water bottle and water. Do not litter. Follow traffic signals and street signs. You. It’s just a group run. Be careful and help your fellow trotters. And of course you signed the waiver or you wouldn't be doing the Petaluma Turkey Trot. Take a selfie on the trail or a scene of other trotters.
