Post-race celebration
After the race, join family and friends at Moss Bay Hall, 111 Central Way in downtown Kirkland, for a festive post-race celebration featuring great beer, delicious pretzels, and plenty of holiday cheer.
Inspiring the next generation
The Kirkland Turkey Trot is a wonderful opportunity to introduce younger runners to the joy of being active. Families can participate together, encourage one another along the course, and show children that exercise can be fun, social, and rewarding.
Every young person who reaches the finish line has something to celebrate, whether they run, jog, walk, or receive a little help along the way.

The course
The scenic 5K and 10K courses begin and end at Juanita Beach Park. Along the way, participants travel to and through Juanita Bay Park, enjoy views of Lake Washington and the Seattle skyline, and return across the historic Market Street Bridge. The Lil’ Gobbler Run takes place entirely within Juanita Beach Park.
Lil’ Gobbler Run
The Lil’ Gobbler Run gives our youngest participants their own moment to shine. This quarter-mile run takes place entirely within Juanita Beach Park and is designed for children ages 2–6.
Parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends are encouraged to cheer them on as they experience the excitement of participating in their own race and crossing the finish line.
