    Before you dive into mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, lace up and join us for the First Annual West Hill Turkey Trot.

    This 2-lap course is a West Hill original, featuring 165 feet of climbing per lap (yep, that means 330 feet total) with a signature climb up Terrace Road that’ll get your heart rate up faster than the turkey fryer. But don’t worry — what goes up must come down, and you’ll enjoy a fun, gradual descent on the back side of the loop.

    📍 Start/Finish: Terrace Rd by the Activity Field

    🎟 Registration: Opens at 9:00 AM

    🏁 Race Start: 10:00 AM sharp

    🐾 Strollers welcome | No dogs, please

    🌤️The event will happen, rain or shine!

    5K Run (2 laps)

    1 Lap Walk

    💸 Entry Fee

    Free for West Hill residents (check the West Wind for your coupon code)

    $15 plus platform processing fees for non-residents

    This isn’t about setting a PR — it’s about conquering the hill, seeing your neighbors, and starting your holiday with fresh air and endorphins. Whether you're racing hard or taking it easy, we promise a casual, welcoming atmosphere and some good old-fashioned Thanksgiving morning fun. But also, if you're feeling competitive, we'll be doing awards for the top three overall and winner in each age group of the 5k.
