Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot 2026
The Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot is an annual running event held at Newberry Hill Heritage Park in Silverdale, Washington. The race takes place within a forested park environment, utilizing fire roads away from public streets and vehicular traffic. The primary course consists of a 2.7 mile loop on a surface of packed dirt and rock.
Participants can choose from several distances:
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 1 mile
- 100 yards (Kids Dash)
The 5 km and 10 km courses involve approximately 200 feet of elevation gain and loss per lap. The 100 yard kids' dash takes place on the main course and concludes at the official finish line. The 5 km follows the Old Loop Road, while the 10 km version consists of two laps with a slight variation onto a side trail to achieve the full distance.
The event utilizes chip timing for the 1 mile, 5 km, and 10 km races. Medals are awarded to the top male and female finishers in these three distances, with ribbons provided for first through fifth place in various age categories. All participants in the kids' dash receive a commemorative ribbon.
Parking is located at Klahowya Secondary School, with marked access roads leading to the staging and registration areas. The fire road course is accessible for strollers, and leashed dogs are permitted. All proceeds from the event are directed toward non-profit organizations focused on local hunger relief.
