Annual NeighborhoodTurkey Trot Fundraiser

The 9th Annual Laurelhurst Turkey Trot, open to all ages, is happening on Thanksgiving Day. 

Here is information provided by the Larsons, who plan the even every year:

It’s become a neighborhood tradition and gets bigger every year. Last year we had over 300 runners and walkers take part in the Laurelhurst Turkey Trot!  

And this year we’re keeping the Laurelhurst Turkey Trot tradition alive, but adjusting the format a bit due to the pandemic.   

This year, we will conduct the Turkey Trot in an “open house” style, where participants can show up and start the Trot anytime between 9-11am.   A course of of the  5K Fun Run/Walk that zig zags through Laurelhurst will be handed out as well as a raffle ticket for one of 10 pies donated by Metropolitan Market.  

The Turkey Trot begins and ends at the NE corner of Laurelhurst Park by the overpass.  Bring your family, dog, or pet turkey and be prepared to burn some calories and have good time before the Thanksgiving stuffing.  

We ask that everyone wear masks if in crowds and maintain 6 feet or more distance from those not in your immediate family.  There will not be a mass group start or gathering at the end.

We will collect non-perishable food or cash/check donations for the University District Food Bank.  

Hope to see you Thanksgiving morning!
