Turkey Trot - Greater Bellingham Running Club
The GBRC Turkey Trot is a 5K fun run/walk whose net proceeds benefit the Bellingham Food Bank. The event is held at Squalicum Creek Park (1001 Squalicum Way, Bellingham).
The course is an open course with sections on the road and two road crossings. Monitors will stop runners for vehicular traffic. There is a 90 minute time limit for completing the course.
Strollers and children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are not allowed for 2026 due to insurance restrictions.
Registration for 2025 opens on September 26, 2025 at 8am and closes on November 21 at 8pm. There are no race day registrations. Entry fees are: GBRC members free; non members aged 13 and up pre-race $20; non members 12 and under free.
The race is chip timed by Pacific Multisports. All runners receive a bib with a timing chip and should wear the bib visibly on the front. Early bib pickup is available at Fairhaven Runners on Thursday noon to 6pm and Friday 10am to 6pm. Unclaimed bibs are available race morning at Squalicum Creek Park starting at 8am.
The top three male, female, and non-binary finishers receive Turkey Trot prizes. There is no official award ceremony; winners will be announced and may collect awards in the pavilion after finishing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
