Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot
The Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot is a trail-based running event held at Newberry Hill Heritage Park with staging and parking at Klahowya Secondary School in Silverdale, WA. Events use the Old Loop Road fire road, a packed dirt-and-rock surface, with about 200 feet of elevation gain or loss per lap for the 5K and 10K courses. The 10K is two laps of the fire-road loop with a short detour onto a narrower side trail to add distance; that detour includes about 100 feet of restricted, narrower trail.
Distances offered:
- 10K: two laps of the Old Loop Road; includes a short narrow side trail
- 5K: one lap of the Old Loop Road
- 1-mile: out-and-back half-mile turnaround
- Pumpkin/Kids Dash: 100-yard dash ending at the main finish line
Strollers are permitted; durable strollers should navigate the narrow detour section with care. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are permitted on course. The event has used chip timing since 2022. Medals are presented to the top male and female finishers in the 1-mile, 5K, and 10K; ribbons are awarded 1st–5th by event and age category, and a commemorative ribbon is given to kids-dash participants. Packet pickup and in-person registration take place on specified days before race day. All proceeds benefit nonprofit efforts to fight hunger in the community.
