Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot 2025

🦃 Welcome to the Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot!

Please join us for our 8th 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.

📅 Race Day Details

The event will take place on November 27, 2025, at Klahowya Secondary School, Silverdale, WA.

🔄 Changes in 2025

• No Race-Day Registration: We will likely NOT have race-day registration in 2025. We reached capacity in 2024 and race-day registration is a significant chore at the last minute. Please check back for details!
• Additional Facilities: In 2025 we are increasing the numbers of port-a-potties to alleviate the lines we had in 2024.
• Chip-Timed Event: Since 2022, this will be a chip-timed event.
• Family Registration: Since 2023, we have initiated a "Family Registration" (discount!) package. Please see below for instructions.

💰 Beneficiary Information

All proceeds from this event will benefit non-profit organizations and causes to fight hunger in our community.
