Starting outside the World Forestry Center, participants traverse a paved 4-mile route along Canyon Road before embarking on an exclusive tour through the Oregon Zoo grounds past the elephant habitat, primate forest, and Africa exhibits, crossing the finish line inside the zoo's Elephant Plaza. Children ages 10 and under participate in the high-spirited Tot Trot, scampering along a paved loop inside the zoo and earning chocolate turkey finisher medals. Families enjoy festive post-race treats, commemorative race shirts, and complimentary zoo admission for the remainder of the morning. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Strollers and jogger wagons are enthusiastically welcomed in the designated family walking waves following competitive runners. The entire course follows wide paved roadways and asphalt zoo corridors. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Indoor heated restrooms with baby changing counters are conveniently located in the Oregon Zoo entry plaza and the World Forestry Center lobby. • Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages, from infants in jogging strollers to grandparents. The Tot Trot is tailored specifically for youth ages 10 and under. • Sensory Tips: Pre-race announcements and energetic race crowds gather near the starting archway; families with sensory-sensitive children can stage peacefully along the wide Washington Park lawns near the MAX Light Rail station. ## Similar picks in Portland - [Turkey Trot at the Zoo (Tot Trot and Gobble Gallop)](https://grassyknees.com/portland/activities/turkey-trot-at-the-zoo-tot-trot-and-gobble-gallop--listing-0c40307b6df372851c0f086f) — Thu, Nov 26 · 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM · Oregon Zoo · Ages 0–10 · From $30 · checked Oct 21.
