US Edition‘The People Made It Special’: Trot’s Tradition Offers New Step in Palisades Recovery
The 11th annual Pacific Palisades Turkey Trot features new courses and aims for 2,000 participants to raise $15,000 for the fire-damaged Palisades-Malibu YMCA rebuild.
- On Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025, the Pacific Palisades Turkey Trot returned with thousands running to benefit recovery, donating $15,000 from entry fees and XBP Global to the Palisades-Malibu YMCA.
- The January wildfire forced a move from Palisades Charter High School, as the Palisades fire destroyed thousands of structures and killed 12 people, relocating races to downtown Pacific Palisades.
- Nearly 2,000 people participated or spectated in the 5K and 10K runs plus the Kids Race, with about 1,400 entrants reported Tuesday and 12 sponsors including construction and fire-prevention firms.
- Residents said the race gave the community hope as the Palisades-Malibu YMCA relocated to Simon-Meadows and waived fees, with Jim Kirtley hoping to rebuild soon.
- With permits underway, community rebuilding continues amid uncertainty as proceeds will support Palisades-Malibu YMCA reconstruction and some displaced residents and David O'Connell have begun rebuilding permits.
