About the Event

Join the "Less Turkey, More Trot" virtual race and explore Capitol Forest from November 21 to November 29, 2026. Choose your distance—9 km, 21 km, or 33 km—and complete it at your own pace along scenic trails that start and finish at Mima Falls Trailhead.
This year's event marks a change in location due to the closure of Margaret McKenny Trailhead, offering runners new routes through Capitol Forest. Participants can enjoy varied terrain with stunning forest scenery, making this an ideal outing for both seasoned trail enthusiasts and casual joggers alike.
Registration fees go directly towards supporting Thurston County Food Bank, which has already benefited from over $20,000 raised since the event's inception in 2020. In addition to your contribution, you have a chance to win prizes through photo submissions or by entering raffles featuring items donated by local businesses such as Tahoma Physical Therapy and 8 Arms Bakery.
Remember to display a Discover Pass when parking at Mima Falls Trailhead, ensuring compliance with Washington State regulations. Maps are available for download via the Avenza app from Friends of Capitol Forest’s website, helping you navigate these beautiful trails confidently.
Whether you’re logging miles solo or joining friends and family, this virtual race offers an engaging way to enjoy nature while giving back to your community.
