Turkey Trot
What should I expect?
This event is a casual run, jog, or walk (most people walk). The route is 5K (around 3 miles), but there are lots of shortcuts if you don't want to do an entire 5K. The Turkey Trot is a way to come together as a community and neighborhoods during the holidays to help those in need and have fun. Don't forget your Thanksgiving costumes and accessories because selfies are recommended!
Where should I park?
Olympic College will have parking for the event.
Where is the start/finish line?
The start/finish line is at Evergreen Rotary Park.
Do I need to check-in if I requested the "No T-shirt" option when I signed up?
No. We will have commemorative bibs, all with number 2024, but there are no timing chips, so if you did not request a t-shirt and don't need a bib, there is no need to check-in. Just show up and have fun!
