Course Route:

The Coronado Turkey Trot 5K starts and finishes at beautiful Tidelands Park, taking runners and walkers on a scenic waterfront journey along the Bayshore Bikeway.

After crossing the start line, you’ll head south toward the Coronado Bridge Viewpoint for the first turnaround just before Mile 1. Enjoy open bay views and wide pathways as you make your way back toward Tidelands Park.

Continuing north along the water, you’ll reach Water Station #1 at approximately Mile 1.5, offering a quick refresh as you head toward the Ferry Landing.

The course then guides you along the bayside path to Centennial Park, where you’ll arrive at Water Station #2 and the second turnaround point around Mile 2.25.

From there, take in the waterfront scenery as you follow the Bayshore Bikeway back to Tidelands Park. You’ll cross the finish line under the arch and celebrate your Thanksgiving morning with friends, family, and the Coronado community.
