2025 - Whitefish Turkey Trot
2025 distances
Running
5K Run
Due to the expected number of participants, we will have two waves in this year's Turkey Trot: one for runners (starting at 8:30 am), and one for walkers (starting at 9:30 am). The 5K course will start and end outside of the O'Shaughnessy Center. Participants will follow the bike path through the tunnel under Baker Ave and immediately make a hard left turn to go up and over the viaduct. Trotters will then follow the bike path to the four-way intersection and head right toward Washington Avenue. A sharp 180-degree turn will put trotters onto Edgewood Place. They will follow that road until taking a left on Iowa Ave. The a left onto Woodland Place, right on Minnesota Ave, right onto Waverly Place and left on Iowa will bring participants to Skyles Pl. Trotters will go down Skyles to City Beach, up Oregon Ave., and onto the bike path alongside the Whitefish River back to Depot Park. The route will be marked and volunteer course marshals will help direct participants. Please be advised that weather conditions are variable, and there is a high likelihood of snow and/or ice on the course. While we will do our best to use sand or salt to provide a safe start and finish area, the rest of the course will be left up to Mother Nature. We highly recommend bringing Yaktrax or ice spikes for your running shoes!
