Turkey Trot Fun Run and Walk

Turkey Trot Fun Run and Walk takes place in the scenic coastal town of Coos Bay, Oregon, in Coos County, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. Organized by the South Coast Running Club, the 5K starts at 9:00 a.m. and welcomes both runners and walkers in a relaxed, friendly setting where you can test your endurance or your speed as you see fit. Entry is simple: donate two or more non-perishable food items to help people in need.

This is a low-pressure community 5K, ideal for families, beginners and anyone who wants to start Thanksgiving with some fresh coastal air and a good deed. Runners can push the pace for a fast 3.1 miles, while walkers can take it easy and enjoy the morning. No formal training plan is required, but a few weeks of regular easy running or walking will make the distance feel comfortable. Bring your food donation, dress for a late-November morning on the Oregon coast, and arrive with time to check in before 9:00 a.m.
