About the race
The Oregon Turkeython is a community running event held at Cook Park in Tigard on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. The event includes a chip-timed 5k and a non-timed kids event on a short park loop. Parking guidance is provided to manage park capacity: carpooling is encouraged, participants may park at Tualatin City Park and walk or jog to Cook Park, or park at Tigard High School and walk or jog down the hill to Cook Park.
Distances offered:
- 5k chip timed race
- Kidathon untimed, about 1/4 mile loop
Registration fees are tiered by date, with listed prices ranging from $33 up to $45 and a $0 fee for the Kidathon. A family rate reduces the fee by $3 per participant when two or more register together in the same transaction; no discount applies on the day of the event.
Bib pickup is available on the day of the event at Cook Park and on the preceding Tuesday at 7800 SW Durham Rd, Ste #600 (back roll-up door). Runners are asked to wear their bib on the chest so chip timing and race photos work properly. All 5k finishers receive a Turkeython finishers medal. The Kidathon is offered in two age groups, 8 and older and 0 to 7, and parents are welcome to run with their children. A kids coloring contest accepts entries at bib pickup or before the kids races, with a Costco pumpkin pie as a prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
