Hopelink’s 14th annual Turkey Trot 5K family fun run and walk will take place Nov. 23 in Kirkland. The three-mile course – running from Marina Park to Carillon Point and back along Lake Washington – is open to both runners and walkers. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the race will start at 10 a.m.

Last year, nearly 1,500 Turkey Trot participants helped raise more than $260,000 in donations.

Presented by Fred Meyer and supported by a host of other local businesses, Hopelink’s annual Turkey Trot helps provide emergency services and holiday assistance to low-income families in east and north King County during the winter months. Families in poverty struggle year-round, but in winter they face added financial pressure from such things as higher home heating costs and providing their children with warm clothing and visits to the doctor if they get sick.

The registration fee includes a Hopelink Turkey Trot tech shirt and an entry into a drawing for a variety of prizes, including gift cards to local restaurants.

Prior to Nov. 17, the registration fee is $35 for individuals and $30 each for teams of four or more. Both fees increase by $5 beginning Nov. 17. Kids in strollers and pets are free.
