I Like Pie in Bend, the Redmond Turkey Trot, and the Run Like a Turkey 5k in Prineville are all great choices! It’s a tough decision, so here are a few details to help you decide.

This Radar Post is all about Turkey Trots. Our calendar partner, the Pacific NW Running Calendar, lists no less than 26 races in Oregon on November 23 and this round-up will highlight those that are low-cost (mainly 5ks for around $25) or that I know for a fact donate all or a significant portion of proceeds to nonprofits.

As fall descends upon us, along with heavy amounts of rain fall and potential snow fall, Thanksgiving Day looms near, along with it the immense bevy of turkey day trots and races that happen all over the country.
