The Seal Beach Turkey Trot is one of our town’s Thanksgiving Season traditions, like stuffing and cranberry sauce. It’s common for people to run or walk with their children or their dogs. Some participants wear costumes. The inaugural Turkey Trot was held in 2019.
The 2024 Turkey Trot will be held Saturday, Nov. 23, on Main Street.
Street closures will start at 6 a.m., Saturday. For details, see the story on this page.
The goal of the Turkey Trot is to raise money for Project SEEK and to donate more than 300 meals to needy families, according to sealbeachtur0keytrot.com.
