A Thanksgiving Morning Tradition

Every Thanksgiving morning, hundreds of runners, walkers, families, and friends gather at the South Beach Marina for one of Newport’s favorite holiday traditions — a fun, flat, festive coastal run filled with spirit, community, and plenty of smiles.

Whether you’re chasing a holiday PR, walking with family, or simply soaking in the crisp ocean air, the Newport Turkey Trot offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all ages. Expect friendly volunteers, beautiful views of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, donuts and hot drinks at the finish, and the kind of hometown energy that makes this event a tradition for so many.

A portion of every paid registration supports Food Share of Lincoln County, helping local families enjoy a brighter holiday season. When you run the Turkey Trot, you’re giving back to your community.
