About this adventure

Greet Thanksgiving morning in Tacoma charming Proctor District with the annual Tacoma City Turkey Trot! Starting outside Fleet Feet Tacoma on North 26th Street, this lively community race draws runners, walkers, and strollers through tree-lined neighborhood streets past historic craftsman homes and local shops.\n\nThe 5K kicks off at 9:00 AM, followed by the high-energy Kids 1K Dash where young racers earn their very own turkey finisher medal. Costumes are enthusiastically celebrated, with prizes awarded for the most creative turkey, pie, and pilgrim getups. The paved neighborhood course is ideal for jogging strollers, and race proceeds help support local youth athletics and community food drives across Pierce County.
