ORRC Turkey Trot at The Zoo
Organizer's Description
The ORRC Turkey Trot at the Oregon Zoo is a multi-generational family event. Runners and walkers of all abilities love the 5K, untimed out-and-back course. The event starts at The Oregon Zoo by the Forestry Center and the Max station, then goes out toward the International Rose Garden, and finishes inside The Oregon Zoo at the Elephant Plaza. The Tot Trot (children 0- 4 years old) and the Gobble Gallop (for children between 5 and 10 years old) events follow the 5K at the Elephant plaza inside the zoo.
Every entrant in the 5K and kids events receive an awesome beanie hat and chocolate turkey. Event shirts are an optional purchase, but the deadline to request a shirt is November 1st.
PLEASE NOTE: The event is capped for non-ORRC members at 2,300 participants! And there is no day of race registration. Register early to ensure your entry! Last year's event sold out by November 6th!
Approximately $25,000 of registration fees benefit The Oregon Zoo.
