    Join us Thanksgiving morning (Nov. 28) for the Norpoint Turkey Trot, the oldest and largest Turkey Trot in Tacoma! 

    The event is “stuffed” with holiday activities and features a 5k run, 2-mile run/walk and a kids' trot. The race has been bringing families together on Thanksgiving morning for since 1995 and for many has become as much a part of the holiday in as pumpkin pie and football.

    Both the 5k and 2 mile routes begin at the Center at Norpoint and wind through the streets of Northeast Tacoma, providing mountain and sound views for participants.
