Torrance Turkey Trot Fun Run

Start Thanksgiving morning with the City of Torrance at the Annual Harry Sutter Memorial Turkey Trot Fun Run on Thursday, November 26, 2026. The 3-mile community run is a fun and affordable way for South Bay families and friends to get active and celebrate the holiday together, and it is one of the most popular Thanksgiving traditions in Torrance.

After the run, participants can stick around for an opportunity drawing with prizes including mountain bikes, gift cards, gym memberships and apparel. All registered runners receive a commemorative Turkey Trot T-shirt while supplies last.
