Join us on Thanksgiving morning, November 26, for the annual Thurston Turkey Trot. You can run or walk the 5K or 1-mile events—it's the perfect way to kick off your holiday. Both start at 8 a.m., so bring your family and friends for this fun community tradition!
Entry fee is $30 + RunSignUp registration fee. But hurry—price increases on Nov. 20. Your race fee includes a long-sleeved t-shirt, plus water, coffee, bananas, and Eileen's cookies at the finish line.
