The Turkey Day 8K, 5K Trot and 3K Family Fun Run courses travel the University District and along the Clark Fork River! Donations and a portion of event proceeds go to the Missoula Food Bank.
This is a family friendly and walker friendly Turkey Trot event! Strollers are allowed in the 8K & 3K, but NOT in the 5K. We ask that you start near the back of the pack and be mindful when maneuvering around other participants.
Per Run Wild Missoula event policies, dogs are not allowed to participate in the event with the exception of ADA Service Animals. Service animals must be on non-retractable, 6 foot or less leash.
As outlined in the race waiver & acknowledgement, entry fees are non-refundable, non-transferable and non-deferrable. To view the RWM race cancellation policy, click here.
