What Is the Maple Valley Turkey Trot? 

The Maple Valley Turkey Trot 5K is more than just a race; it’s a beloved Thanksgiving tradition that unites the community for fitness, fun, and a heartfelt cause. Held annually on Thanksgiving morning at Lake Wilderness Park, this event combines a scenic 5K run or walk with the spirit of giving back. 

What makes this event special is its mission to support the Maple Valley Food Bank, a cornerstone organization in our community that provides critical resources to families in need. Proceeds from the race go directly toward helping the food bank fight hunger and feed hope.
