Hopelink’s 13th annual Turkey Trot 5K family fun run and walk is set for Sunday, Nov. 24 in Kirkland.

The 3-mile course runs from Marina Park to Carillon Point and back, and is open to both runners and walkers. Registration begins at 10 a.m., with runners starting the race at 11 a.m. and walkers at 11:05 a.m.

Last year, 831 Turkey Trot participants raised more than $300,000 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 an overnight stay at Kirkland’s Woodmark Hotel and Sunday brunch for two at Anthony’s HomePort.

The registration fee is $40 for individuals and $35 each for teams of four or more. Strollers and pets are free.

Participants will be able to register in person at the Kirkland Fred Meyer on Friday, Nov. 22 from 6-9 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 23 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The store address is 12221 120th Ave. NE, Kirkland.
