2026 West Linn Turkey Trot

On Thanksgiving Day morning, join the Turkey Trot at Mary S. Young Park in West Linn, Oregon, for an invigorating family-friendly trail run that benefits the local community. This scenic 3.8-mile course winds through lush tree-lined paths filled with autumn hues and natural beauty. Participants can expect well-marked routes and supportive volunteers along the way.
For younger members of your family, a shorter but equally enjoyable half-mile Kids Trot awaits on the bark chip trail. Designed for kids aged six years and under, this out-and-back course offers an introduction to running in a fun and safe environment.
The event welcomes runners and walkers of all abilities, encouraging everyone from seasoned athletes to casual enthusiasts to participate together. Trail shoes are recommended as parts of the terrain may be muddy or uneven, so prepare accordingly with clothes that can withstand some dirt.
In addition to the physical activity, the Turkey Trot serves a greater purpose by raising funds for the West Linn Food Pantry and collecting food donations during the event. It's an opportunity to give back while enjoying quality time outdoors as a family.
Virtual participation is also available if you're unable to join in person but still wish to contribute. Simply register online, complete your run at home on Thanksgiving morning, and donate directly through the event website.
Don't miss this chance to celebrate the holiday season with friends and neighbors by supporting local causes while exploring one of Oregon's picturesque parks. Get your turkey ready, gather your loved ones, and lace up for a memorable day in Mary S. Young Park.
