Magnuson Series Seattle Turkey Trot 2026

The Magnuson Series Seattle Turkey Trot, a Thanksgiving run/walk in Seattle, offers 5K, 10K, and 15K races. All three start simultaneously, preceded by a 400-meter kids dash. As the series' largest event, it requires more attention to bib pickup, arrival time, and carpooling than smaller park races. The event is chip timed, awarding prizes to top finishers in each distance. Free race photos will be available on each runner’s results page. The race supports Food Lifeline, the featured charity. Participants can bring food items to the registration shelter for the University Food Bank. Awards are presented by distance: 5K first, then 10K, and finally 15K. All parking lots are utilized, and some drivers may experience delays exiting due to runners crossing nearby roads, with traffic released in intervals by crossing guards. Volunteers can receive complimentary race vouchers for themselves or others, or fulfill community service hours.
