We made some big changes in 2024 moving the Turkey Trot to the ChangePoint/Dome area. This is the current plan for 2025. However, we'll continue to attempt to secure traffic control for our classic downtown course so we can celebrate from the Dena'ni Center. Updates will be provided as we have details.

Trot and Give Thanks!

Join us and millions of Americans on the most popular running and walking day of the year! Gather your friends and family for the holiday and run, walk, jog, or hobble on a unique, 2-lap course from ChangePoint and The Dome in midtown Anchorage. With a 5K or a 2.4K, we have a distance for everyone. Stick around as we give age class winner a fresh pie, then head off to your Thanksgiving dinner!

Food Bank

The Food Bank of Alaska is hosting their annual Thanksgiving blessing food distribution ahead of the holiday this year. They served 12,000 Alaskan Families in Anchorage and the Mat-Su in 2024, roughly 1500 more families than 2023. Additionally, the costs for the event have increased a staggering 35%. In total, this two-day food distribution event cost almost half a million dollars. Ultimately donations have dropped and the food need is up, so we, along with our partner organizations, are struggling to meet the need.

While every additional donation through the Turkey Trot registration page goes directly to the Food Bank of Alaska, if you would like to donate directly to them or find other ways to support this critical organization, visit www.foodbankofalaska.org. Thank you for for support!

Food Drive
We’ll be taking non-perishable food donations at either Skinny Raven from November 22rd  through November 26th. Bring in a donation and be entered to win a pair of super grippy Icebug studded footwear. Look for the red barrels and ask a staff member for a ticket. We’ll have extra capacity at the bib pickups to receive your goods right at the bib pickup tables! For a list of the most needed items click here.

2025 goal: $15000 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!


Thankful for Icebugs!

The snow and ice has descended and we are excited to announce that Icebug is joining us again as our official Turkey Trot winter shoe partner. Running, walking, snowblowing, or shoveling, Icebug has the trusted sure-footed grip to keep you upright and moving safely this winter.


Event Swag

A long sleeve tech shirt is included in your registration. If you still want to join us for the fun but your t-shirt drawer is full, you can opt out of the shirt and we'll donate the value of the shirt to the Food Bank of Alaska for you! (2024 shirt is pictured, stay tuned for 2025 swag!)

In-Person Event

You'll be celebrating with us at ChangePoint and The Dome in midtown Anchorage. We'll still have a 5K and a Mini Turkey of 2.4K on a two lap course. Enjoy indoor bib pickup, bag drop, and bathrooms at ChangePoint – and plenty of parking between ChangePoint and The Dome’s parking lots. Sponsor activities and post-race celebrations will be outside. The pies are still on for age class awards and we know it will be a great way to celebrate the holiday with your family and friends. See below for the reasons for this change and how we adapted to still hold a big, fun event. We will continue to work this coming year on securing our classic Downtown Anchorage 5K course, and will keep you updated on any change of details.
