🦃 Welcome to the Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot!

Please join us for our 7th Annual Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot!

For the fourth 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.

🚗 Additional Information

Parking: 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.
Packet Distribution: Race packets will be distributed at multiple locations during the week preceding the race. Packets will also be available on race day.
Course Details: 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.
Stroller Guidelines: 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. However, the restricted area is only over about 100 feet in total.

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).
