Thurston Turkey Trot

The Thurston Turkey Trot offers travelers a chance to embrace local holiday traditions through a vibrant running or walking event. Designed to foster community spirit, it encourages families and friends to join in this festive, active gathering. Participants receive a long-sleeved t-shirt and enjoy post-race refreshments including water, coffee, bananas, and cookies. The event supports a meaningful cause, with proceeds benefiting the Jeff and Carol Memorial Scholarship, which aids two graduating seniors from Pender Public Schools. Additionally, the course boasts impressive records set by Addison Albin and Lisa Ryan in their divisions.
