4th Annual Turkey Trot : Robert Frost PTC
The 4th Annual Turkey Trot is organized by the Robert Frost Parent Teacher Club at Robert Frost Elementary in Silverton, Oregon. The event offers two distances:
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- 1 mile
Entry fees vary by age group. For the 5K the listed adult fee is $25, student pricing is $10 for ages 6–18, and children ages 0–5 are free with a paid adult. For the 1 mile the listed adult fee is $10, student pricing is $5 for ages 6–18, and children ages 0–5 are free with a paid adult. Same day registration is available for an additional $5 per runner per event.
Course and accessibility notes: the 5K is not a closed course and follows public sidewalks along streets, crossing commercial driveways. Walkers may use the 5K but are asked to congregate toward the rear of the starting area. The 1 mile takes place on a wood chip and gravel path behind the school and Silverton Baptist Church; uneven surfaces may limit use of umbrella strollers and standard wheelchairs, while jogger strollers and multi-terrain aids may be able to navigate the route.
Logistics and amenities: check in is in front of the school; both races start and finish near the staff parking lot and school front. No chip timing or official finish times are recorded; participants may track their own time and race clocks will be present. All participants receive a raffle ticket; students and staff receive an extra ticket. Parking near the school is limited and a small number of spaces are available at Silverton First Baptist Church. Restrooms, water, and snacks are provided at the start and finish. Prohibited items on campus include bikes, scooters, skateboards, tobacco products, weapons, and controlled substances. Event photos may be taken but no professional photography is offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
