A Long Beach tradition, the Turkey Trot is the last run of the fall season. Starting out on the the boardwalk, the Turkey Trot is actually two races in one. The first race is a one mile shortened version for kids. It is followed by the 10k run for adults. Winners will go home with Thanksgiving turkeys!
The 1 mile race will start at 8:30 AM and the adult race will follow.
Given the size of Long Beach relative to the 10K distance that is covered, a lot of intersections including Park Avenue, Beech Street and Broadway require traffic control to protect the runners. In total, almost fifty intersections are crossed by the runners. The race tends to spread out quite a bit and we rely on a lot of resources to handle the posts. Given the distance and the expanse of the runners, this event is an ALL HANDS event and every uniformed and probationary officer is urged to participate.
Muster at Regular Headquarters at 8:00 AM
