Turkey Trot returns to Battle Point Park

Published 12:17 pm Friday, November 21, 2014

The fifth annual Bainbridge Island Turkey Trot, one mile or 5K fun runs/walks, will return to Battle Point Park this Thanksgiving.

Start times are 8:30 a.m. for the mile and 9 a.m. for the 5K route.

The ever-popular holiday tradition draws a crowd of all aged participants, many who take the opportunity to squeeze in a quick workout before sitting down to a traditional holiday meal.

Some even dress for the occasion, sporting outlandish costumes and attire. Participants dressed in costume will receive a prize.

The cost to participate is $20 per person for the 5K, $10 for the mile. Proceeds go to benefit Helpline House.

Nearly $65,000 has been raised to benefit the local food bank in the first four years of the event.
