Tacoma City Turkey Trot
The Tacoma City Turkey Trot takes place on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in Tacoma’s Proctor District. The event offers two distances:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Kids 1K for ages 12 and under
The 5K start/finish is at Fleet Feet Tacoma. The 5K course is USATF certified (WA22024RMB). The kids 1K allows grown-ups to run with children without registering for that distance. Thanksgiving costumes and accessories are encouraged.
Registration, logistics and services
Registration for the 5K includes a commemorative finisher medal, a t-shirt (order by 11/12 to guarantee size), and a collective bib; the Kids 1K includes a finisher’s ribbon. Team discounts apply at specified team sizes. All entry fees are non-refundable, with no transfers or roll-overs. Participants under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign a waiver.
Packet pickup is available the day before at Central Co-Op, 4502 North Pearl Street, Tacoma, WA, with additional day-of packet pickup at the 5K start area. Gear check is provided and race-morning food bank donations are collected for the Northwest Tacoma Nourish Food Bank. Medical services are provided by local clinics. Timing is by Ready, Set...Time! and photos are provided by CJ Photography. Finish-line food and beverages are available. Awards include medals for all 5K finishers, overall male and female awards, and age-group ribbons for top five finishers in each age group.
