This event is a casual run, jog, or walk (many people walk). The route is 5K (around 3 miles), but there are lots of shortcuts if you don't want to do an entire 5K. The Turkey Trot is a way to come together as a community during the holidays to help those in need and have fun. Don't forget your Thanksgiving costumes and accessories because selfies are recommended and you could win our Costume Contest!

Turkey Trot goes on rain or shine (c'mon, this is the PNW!). Due to the charity nature of the event and our fixed costs, we are unable to offer refunds.
