GO: Turkey Trot

Prepare for the most confoundingly American holiday on the calendar by joining your fellow run-walkers at Portland International Raceway for a preview of Winter Wonderland. This annual pre-holiday event spouts off in waves: two family 5k runs, one competitive 5k and two 200-yard Kids Fun Runs, all taking place through the dazzling winter light show the Speedway is so popular for. If Thanksgiving as a concept bums you out, this is a great moment symbolically to run away while simultaneously making new running buddies. Très Portland. Portland International Raceway, 1940 N Victory Blvd., hoodtocoast.com . 5 pm Wednesday, Nov 26. $65, kids run free.
