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!

What time does it start?
Start time is 9am, course closes at 10:30am.
All participants must start no later than 9:15am

Will the roads be closed to traffic? 
Some roads will be closed. Runners will use some sidewalks.

Can I bring my child in a stroller?
Yes! Please stay towards the back of the starting line for safety.

​Can my child bring a bike?
Yes! If your child (8 and under) wishes to ride their bike, please abide by all pedestrian and bike laws, and start at the end of the race so you will not be a hazard to walkers/runners/joggers.
