The Maple Valley Turkey Trot is a FUN walk or trot Thanksgiving morning through Lake Wilderness Park organized with the intention of coming together as a community during the Thanksgiving holiday to help those in need.

Children in strollers are not required to register (but will not receive shirts). All proceeds raised will go to fund Maple Valley Food Bank Programs as we enter into our organization's busiest season. All ages are welcome! We encourage Thanksgiving costumes & accessories!

PARKING
Please utilize the lower parking lots at the Lake Wilderness Lodge, nearest the arboretum, or the park parking lots specifically. Upper lots near the lodge will be closed off for safety on the route.

CHIP TIMING
This event will NOT be timed. A fun-run in its fullest form!

STROLLERS, DOGS, BIKES, AND WATER
We encourage the use of jogging strollers along the route of this family-friendly 5K. However, out of consideration for other participants, dogs will not be allowed on the course (with the exception of service dogs). For the safety and convenience of all participants, bikes are NOT permitted, as this is a fairly narrow out and back course. We will have water stations near the beach house before and after the race.

Accessibility
Please note that, while generally flat, this race course may not be suitable for all abilities, as the terrain is both paved and gravel. There is a slight incline to access the Green to Cedar River Trail from the arboretum. We will have volunteers stationed at these points to assist on an as-needed basis.
