The Turkey Trot...a fun way to stay active over the holiday break!

Each year in Dana Point, the Turkey Trot 5k and 10k races are held on Thanksgiving Day. This year's race will be on November 27th. It's a great way for OC Boot Campers to stay active and participate in a fun event during our break between camp session.
