Be a part of Thanksgiving - Southern California style!
Enter the 2013 PMCU O'side Turkey Trot today

Members of Austin Bice's family are interviewed by Fox 5.

After a great summer of surfing in Oceanside, I was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma cancer in the fall of 2008. As a result I became a right leg amputee. I entered the 2010 Turkey Trot to prove to myself that great things are possible regardless of life's challenges. Basically that I could still do the fun events I did before cancer. I have done two Turkey Trots and one Oceanside Pier swim since then. Again this year my family and friends will be Trotting with me. What a terrific way to start Thanksgiving Day! - John

This is my second time running this race. My former neighbors and friends, the Holbert's, got me started on it. My dad is traveling from Chicago to run again this year too. I would watch out for him if you are in the 70 plus age group. - Robin

My favorite memory of the OTT is from 2010. My 80 year old father walked his first and last 5K, finishing last, assisted by my daughter who was about to have her spine fused with 2 two ft. rods and not be able to run for a year. - Luke

Favorite memory - 1st time participated with my sister and her family running in the rain! I walked; this year after losing 30lbs, I'll be jogging...rain or shine!! - Tammy

OCEANSIDE, May 6, 2013 - Entries are now open for the 2013 Pacific Marine Credit Union O'side Turkey Trot.

You can enter by clicking here, or in the photo above, to access our secure online entry form. The form offers discounts, as well the opportunity to register up to four entrants.

The 2013 PMCU O'side Turkey Trot is scheduled for Thanksgiving morning, November 28. But don't delay your registration. A 10,000 entant capacity has been established for the popular series of races.

Last year, a record field of more than 9,000 ran and walked the 5 mile, 5K and kids courses on one of the most scenic, oceanfront courses in America. Since its 2,000-entrant debut, the O'side Turkey Trot has grown into a North County Thanksgiving tradition. It is a great way to "Move Your Feet Before You Eat" and share a Southern California-style start to Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Entrants also will be helping schools and worthy non-profits in Oceanside and the North County. Five dollars from each entry fee may be designated to go to the Oceanside school or non-profit of the participant's choice, or to the Move Your Feet Before You Eat Foundation. Using the online entry form is an easy way to help your favorite school or non-profit - and it won't increase your entry fee! In its seven years, the O'side Turkey Trot has raised more than $140,000, thanks to your help.

In addition to being beautiful, the race course is a very fast downhill 5Mile/5K that starts at the Civic Center and finishes at the Pier area along the beach. On a picture perfect day last November, runners dipped under 15 minutes for the 5K and defending champion Okwaro Raura of Oceanside ran to his second 5 Mile title.

So, be sure to bring the whole family to the eighth annual holiday tradition, as there will be races for everyone. The event offers a costume contest, largest teams competition, live entertainment everywhere and finisher medals for all participants.
Limit established for popular race,
so enter now to avoid disappointment
