About the Mountain Valley Turkey Trot 2026
The route runs through Island City and starts and finishes at a physical therapy clinic's parking lot. The course is short enough that most families walk it together, and the event draws people who are not regular runners as much as those who are. Proceeds go to a local nonprofit that packs weekend food bags for elementary-age kids facing hunger.
