Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot 2026
The Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot takes place on November 26, 2026, at Klahowya Secondary School with staging and course access at Newberry Hill Heritage Park in Silverdale, Washington. All running events take place on park trails and fire roads away from streets and vehicle traffic.
Course and events include:
- 10K: two laps of the fire road loop with a short side trail detour
- 5K: one lap of the fire road loop on compact dirt and rock
- 1 Mile: out-and-back of about half a mile to a turnaround
- Pumpkin/Kids Dash: 100 yard dash finishing at the main finish line
The main loop is a wide fire road composed of compacted dirt and rock. Total elevation change is roughly 200 feet per lap for the 5K and 10K. The 10K uses a narrow side trail for a short section of approximately 100 feet; this stretch requires attention for strollers. Strollers and well behaved, leashed dogs are permitted.
The event has used chip timing since 2022. Medals are presented to the top male and female finisher in each of the 1 Mile, 5K, and 10K events. Ribbons are awarded first through fifth by event and age category, and a commemorative ribbon is given to all Kids Dash participants.
Packet distribution occurs during the week before the race and packets are also available on race day. There will be no day of race registration in 2026, though last minute sign-ups are planned in the week of the event. Proceeds benefit local non profit organizations and causes addressing hunger.
