Start your Thanksgiving morning with a fun, family-friendly tradition that gives back! The 16th Annual EChO Turkey Trot 5K Run & Walk brings the Evergreen community together for a festive morning of running, walking, costumes, dogs and community spirit—all while supporting the EChO Food Pantry.
The 5K begins and ends at Evergreen Christian Outreach and travels through downtown Evergreen, along Hwy 74, around Evergreen Lake and back to EChO. The race begins at 9:00 AM, with race-day registration opening at 8:00 AM.
We will be closing the road this year please take note of closure times listed on our website to make sure that you are through the closure to have time to park and make the start of the race.
Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome. Pets are welcome on leashes, and costumes are encouraged! There will be prizes for age-group winners, Best Team Costume, Best Human Costume and Best Dog Costume.
