If you have never walked or run along the Pacific Coast in Encinitas during November, then you’re in for the surprise of your life! The early morning offers a beautiful color in the Pacific Ocean and the waves always seem to have a special look to them during this time of year. That’s why you should start your Thanksgiving holiday fun with friends and/or family at the Encinitas Turkey Trot 5k & 10k where we start and finish the race under the world-famous “ENCINITAS” sign on Coast Highway 101.
