This Thanksgiving, lace up your sneakers and gather the family for a brand-new tradition in the Frazier-Tejon region — the Quail Lake Turkey Trot! Set against the tranquil backdrop of Quail Lake, this fun run/walk invites runners, walkers, and turkey lovers of all ages to enjoy fresh air, scenic views, and community spirit — all before the big meal.
