Turkey Trot : The Dalles
The Turkey Trot in The Dalles is the sixth annual benefit run and walk held at Lewis and Clark Festival Park on W 1st St. The event offers two distance options and records race times for the top three male and top three female finishers of the 5K, with photos of the top three and awards for first place male and female.
The event is organized as a fundraiser. Every dollar brought in will be donated to a local cause. Columbia Gorge Toyota and Honda will match the first $5,000. The local recipient for this edition is the Columbia Gorge Food Bank for the second consecutive year; the 2025 event raised $17,611 for that organization.
Registration fees are listed at $20.00 for the listed race entries, and children 12 and under are free. Group registration options are available under Medium or Large flock categories for businesses, groups, or organizations.
