Our Story

"In 2002, Dr. Holmes' oldest son challenged him to run a marathon with him. Dr. Timothy Holmes, who own[ed] Holmes Chiropractic, had never participated in an organized run but accepted the challenge and started looking for training opportunities. "I couldn't find any local organized runs so I invited some of my friends, family, and patients to join me on Thanksgiving morning for a 5k run. I also asked them to bring two cans of food we could donate to the local Food Bank. I thought it would also be a good way to work up an appetite for our awaited Thanksgiving meal." 

That first year 15 people participated. Dr. Holmes thought it would be great to do it again the next year. An unexpected 200 people participated. And the Gig Harbor Turkey Trot was born. In 2019, over 3,000 people participated in Gig Harbor's largest community run. And it continues to grow!!
