Organiser's Description
PLEASE JOIN US FOR OUR 8TH ANNUAL SILVERDALE ROTARY TURKEY TROT!
For the fifth straight year we're going free-range with our wild Turkey Trot at Newberry Hill Heritage Park. All events are run in the woods -- away from streets, sidewalks, and cars. The park offers a scenic 2.7 mile loop fire road which offers a great course for our 1-Mile, 5K and 10K events.
CHANGES IN 2025:
* We will NOT have race-day registration in 2025. We will, however, have last-minutes sign-ups in the week of the event. Please check back for details!
* In 2025 we are increasing the numbers of port-a-potties to alleviate the lines we had in 2024.
* Since 2022, this has been a chip-timed event.
* Since 2023, we have initiated a "Family Registration" (discount!) package. Please see below for instructions.
_All proceeds from this event will benefit non-profit organizations and causes to fight hunger in our community._
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Parking is available on the property of Klahowya Secondary School. Please enter off of Newberry Hill and follow signs to the parking area. Staging, registration, and kids' dashes will occur on an access road to the Heritage Park. From the parking lot this access road will be clearly marked.
- Race packets will be distributed at multiple events during the week preceding the race. Packets will also be available on race day.
- The 1-mile, 5K, and 10K events will be run on a wide fire road consisting of compact dirt and rock. The 10K course makes a small detour onto a narrow side trail to supplement the distance needed. 10K racers will run the fire road loop twice. The course will be marked, and staffed for clarity. See link below for a course map.
- Strollers are permitted on the course. For 10K participants there is a detour off the fire road onto a path to add the necessary distance for the race. Unlike the fire road this stretch will require your attention as it gets narrow in a couple of places. However, the restricted area is only over about 100 feet in total. And durable strollers will be fine through this area.
- Well behaved, leashed dogs are permitted (and welcome!).
- Total elevation gain/loss for the course is about 200 feet per lap for the 5K and 10K (2 laps).

RACE PACKET PICK-UP AND IN PERSON REGISTRATION DETAILS
Registration, in person can be made at Pre-Race Packet pick-up locations (see below).
PRE-RACE PACKET PICK-UPS
Packet Pickups are at the following two events or on Thanksgiving morning at the event:
Please check back for actual dates and times but we are anticipating at least two opportunities during the week of the event.
FAMILY REGISTRATIONS
The Silverdale Rotary is an organization of community members who volunteer their time. While the proceeds from this event will, in their entirety, benefit food programs for the food insecure in our community -- both in schools and fprograms for at-risk families -- we are also an organization which wants to rally our Community.
We offer a $100 cap on "family" entries. This is loosely defined. Not necessarily a household, but our goal is to not exclude groups who find the cost as a barrier. If you have fewer family members and would like to be considered for a lower donation to the group effort, please reach out ([email protected]). We'd like to include you as much as you'd like to be there.
Please email Names, Dates of Birth, and the Event of entry to [email protected]. We'll follow up in a day or two and get you included!
