2026 Mukilteo Turkey Trot

The 2026 Mukilteo Turkey Trot returns on November 26th for its twelfth edition, offering runners of all levels an idyllic setting along the shores of Puget Sound. The race course winds through the scenic Harbour Pointe neighborhood around Kamiak High School in Mukilteo, Washington.
Race morning promises a cozy atmosphere with runners and spectators gathered on the closed-off roads against a backdrop of vibrant fall foliage. A light mist may enhance the crispness of early November air, which typically hovers between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. The terrain is predominantly flat, making it accessible for both beginners and seasoned athletes.
This year’s event features five distinct distances: 10K (6.2 miles), 5K (3.1 miles), Little Turkey Trot (one kilometer) for young children aged six and under, Student 10K, and Student 5K. Participants can register online at https://raceroster.com/events/2026/110566/2026-mukilteo-turkey-trot with fees ranging from $39.91 to $50.68 depending on the chosen distance.
On race day, runners pick up their bibs at the Mukilteo Community Center between 7:00 am and 9:45 am. A special perk for the first 1200 registrants is a pair of custom PJ pants included in their registration fee. The starting line is set near Kamiak High School, surrounded by local businesses that offer support throughout the day.
Aid stations are strategically placed along the course to ensure runners stay hydrated and fueled. The finish line celebration includes pumpkin pies for top three place winners within each age group, creating a festive end to the race.
The Mukilteo Turkey Trot is more than just a run; it’s an event that unites families, friends, and community members in celebrating Thanksgiving with picturesque scenery, friendly participants, and a charming atmosphere.
