The Most Thankful Time of the Year!

The Turkey Trot is just around the corner and we can't wait for this Thanksgiving Day family tradition! Bring your family and friends out to run, walk, jog, or hobble on our classic course through downtown Anchorage. With a 5K or a 3K, we have a distance for everyone. Hang with us outside Skinny Raven downtown as we give age class winner a fresh pie, then head off to your Thanksgiving dinner!

Food Bank

Food insecurity in Alaska reached an all time high during the pandemic. But with the end of many supplemental Covid support programs, plus recent inflation, the demand on the Food Bank of Alaska has only increased. Here in Anchorage, the Food Bank typically serves around 10,000 FAMILIES / INDIVIDUALS for the holiday through their Thanksgiving Blessing. Let’s help our neighbors stay fueled by supporting Food Bank of Alaska this Thanksgiving! We are asking you to help us drive fundraising for this critical community organization. Create an individual or team fundraiser through our registration platform and help us set a record for Turkey Trot donations. We will match all donation up to $1000. You can donate through the Turkey Trot at any point in the year.

2023 goal: $20000 and 1000 pounds of food!

We have some great gifts for reaching fund raising goals!

Individual Goal: Raise $500 or more and be entered into a drawing for a pair of Skinny Raven shoes!

Team Goal: Raise $2,000 or more and be entered into a drawing for one of two team dinners (up to $150) for the Bear/Moose’s Tooth!

The current plan is for the The Turkey Trot to start and finish right outside the downtown Skinny Raven store. We will make a decision about a move back into the Dena'ina Center later in the year and if we will feature the famous indoor finish line once again! The course will start on 8th Ave by the Conoco Phillips building. You will head east to C St, run C St. just past 16th Ave where you turn around and run back up the hill. You then head west on 10th Avenue all the way to P St., north to 9th Ave, east on 9th avenue to G St then 8th Ave where you finish back towards Skinny Raven!
