Anne Garrett

Anne Garrett, 81, is the spokeswoman for the O’side Turkey. In March 2015, at the Carlsbad 5000, Garrett set an age-group record in the 5K. She completed the race in 28:37, nearly a minute faster than the previous record of 29:23 for her age-group.

In February, Ms. Garrett set the half marathon record for her age group, running a 2:13:23 at the Surf City Half Marathon in Huntington Beach.

At the Turkey Trot his year, the number of runners is expected to grow well above 15,000. The O’side Turkey Trot has become a Thanksgiving tradition in Oceanside with local volunteers turning out in droves to support the runners.
