Oakland 5K Turkey Trot:

Oakland Turkey Trot's purpose is to raise funds to support Oakland Public School's initiatives outside the scope of the annual school budget. The Oakland Turkey Trot event positively enriches the sense of community and promotes wellness while at the same time providing additional resources for educational purposes.

More than just a healthy start to the holiday, the Oakland Turkey Trot 5K is a fun way to give back while you give thanks. In partnership with the Mayor’s Office, Alameda County Community Food Bank and local sponsors and charities, we are honored to bring Oakland its first Thanksgiving Day community fitness event that is 100% The Town.
