Fallbrook Turkey Trot is a holiday tradition

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Turkey Trot 5k fun run/walk is a happy, healthy and memorable way to begin the holiday season. The Eighth Annual Turkey Trot will be held Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 23, on the beautiful grounds of the Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens.

Starting at 8 a.m., trotters will enjoy a loop around the Grand Tradition, continue through the Los Jilgueros Preserve and finish back at the Grand Tradition. Families and friends of all ages are invited to take part. Dogs on leash are welcome, cleanup is required. Costumes, fun and exuberance are encouraged!

On-line registration is now open at http://www.active.com Fallbrook Turkey Trot or http://www.fallbrookturkeytrot.com. Registration opens at 7 a.m. the day of event registration. T-Shirts are included at registration while supplies last. Each year, organizers commission a local Fallbrook artist, this year Heather Peters, to create an original “Determined Turkey” for the art work for the t-shirt and posters.

The Fallbrook Turkey Trot is a fundraiser organized by Fallbrook Village Rotary Club. Turkey Trot proceeds benefit Fallbrook Land Conservancy, Fallbrook Animal Shelter and many causes funded by Fallbrook Village Rotary. Turkey Trotters are a healthy, fun and social group, who support Fallbrook nonprofits.
