Here’s how it works:

- On Nov. 25, look for an email from Willamalane with your fillable bib. You get to pick your number on your bib (up to 4 digits)! Open it in Acrobat, click in the middle, type your number, and print. Cut it out, pin it on, and you're ready to go.
- Walk or run your 3.1 miles any time you want between the dates of Nov. 26-30. See FAQ section for recommendations on distance tracking apps and local 5K routes.
- Email your results to spenserl@willamalane.org and we will send you your finisher certificate.
- Connect with us and the community before, during, and after your race. Use the hashtag #willamalane on your social media account while training for this run, participating in this run, and when you complete this run! We would love to see your pictures of where you are running whether that’s in your home, our parks and trails, or around your neighborhood.
In-person Turkey Stuffer 5K
Unfortunately, this year’s in-person Turkey Stuffer is canceled due to the statewide two-week freeze. If you have already signed up for the in-person event, you have a couple of options.
Option 1: Keep the Turkey Spirit alive in 2020! Here’s how we’re modifying the event in light of the freeze. No action is needed on your end.
- Automatic signup for Virtual Turkey Stuffer 5K: We’ll enroll you in the virtual event. Walk, run, or waddle your own course between Nov. 26-30. We even have some suggested courses for you to try!
- Automatic signup for Turkey Stuffer 2021: We’ll also enroll you in next year’s Turkey Stuffer at no additional cost. Pre-registration will protect you against any possible price increases that may be associated with next year’s race, while supporting Willamalane as we continue to find ways to offer quality recreation in this challenging time.
- T-shirts are on the way! If you have already ordered a shirt, it’s on the way. If you haven’t yet, this year’s shirts are extremely limited in quantity. If you’d like to place a new shirt order, do so while quantities and sizes last.
