Event Details:
📍 Location: Torrey Hills Neighborhood Park, 4300 Calle Mejillones, San Diego, CA 92130
🕢 Pre-Race Briefing: 7:40 AM (we’ll then walk about ½ mile to the start/finish area)
This is a NO FRILLS fun run - no timing, no parking fees, no stress, just a relaxed morning on the trails with great people! Please note this is a cupless event, so bring your own water if you’d like hydration on the course.
Entry & Charity Info:
There’s no official entry fee, but we kindly ask for a minimum $20 per person donation to support our partner charity, Operation Rebound, a division of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). This incredible organization helps military, first responders, and veterans with permanent physical injuries get back into sports.
Not in San Diego? Join Us Virtually!
If you can’t attend in person, we’d love to have you participate wherever you are! Just share your run photos using #gutcheckfitness and #runningoftheturkeys to celebrate with our community.
Happy Thanksgiving and happy trails!
