From Santa Monica Close Up:

"In the early hours of Thursday, November 23, 2023, participants gathered along the scenic Ocean Front Walk for the annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot & Half Marathon. This popular event, set against the picturesque backdrop of Santa Monica's beach path, offered a range of distances to accommodate various fitness levels, including 5k, 10k, 15k, and the half marathon.

As runners took to the course, they were motivated not only by the competitive spirit but also by the prospect of indulging in Thanksgiving festivities post-race. Each participant, regardless of the distance covered, was rewarded with a finisher's medal and a goodie bag, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event."
