Skinny Raven Turkey Trot - Anchorage
The Skinny Raven Turkey Trot is a community running and walking event staged from the Dena'ina Civic & Convention Center in downtown Anchorage. The course runs through downtown Anchorage with the start near 8th Avenue and G Street and the finish inside the Dena'ina Center.
Distances offered:
- 5K
- 2 Mile
The event includes an in-person race and a virtual option. Virtual participants must complete their chosen distance and post results on November 26; they may indicate a finish without posting a time. Virtual packets can be picked up, mailed within Alaska for free, or shipped outside Alaska for a $5 fee.
A long sleeve A4 performance tech shirt is included with registration; participants may opt out of the shirt and have its value donated to the Food Bank of Alaska. The event supports the Food Bank of Alaska and its Thanksgiving distribution; the organizer set a 2026 fundraising goal of $15,000 and 1,000 pounds of food. A local food drive runs at Skinny Raven stores from November 1 through November 26, with donation collection and a prize drawing for certain contributions.
Awards include top three overall prizes in the 5K by gender and pies for age class winners and top finishers in the Mini Turkey. For safety and insurance compliance, no pets, bicycles, or rollerblades are allowed; participants with strollers are asked to start near the back of the field.
