Kirkland’s Annual Turkey Trot to Impact Traffic This Sunday: Detours and Road Closures Announced

Mark your calendars and adjust your routes, Kirkland dwellers. The annual Kirkland Turkey Trot hits the streets this Sunday, November 17. For those planning to navigate around Marina Park that day, you’ll want to steer clear of certain areas due to road closures and potential traffic delays. The hustle starts early with the Lakeshore Plaza parking lot, a slice of Kirkland Avenue shutting down from 5:30 a.m. and not throwing the switch back to normal until half-past noon.

Take note, the Marina Park municipal boat launch is also getting roped off, but just for a brief spell from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. Meanwhile, drivers should prepare for detours as southbound Lake Street at Kirkland Avenue and the northbound stretch of Lake Washington Boulevard at Lakeview Drive won’t be welcoming traffic from 8:50 a.m. up until 10:30 a.m. So, you might want to plot a different course if you’re cruising through those areas during the trot.

It’s not just about the run or the potential traffic snarl. The Turkey Trot is as much about community as it is about endurance. An impressive flock of 500 participants is expected to lace up for the 3.1-mile jaunt, and with every step, they’ll be supporting Hopelink. This local nonprofit throws a lifeline to low-income residents in King County with its array of programs.

Whether you’re there to trot, cheer, or unwittingly find yourself amid the commotion, the event promises to blend festive spirit and goodwill. Indeed, the trot is an emblem of what is possible when feet pound the pavement not just for the sake of personal triumph but for the pursuit of collective upliftment. Mark these road closures, but also mark the chance to witness or partake in an event etching its annual line in the sand – for a cause that extends its hand far beyond the finish line.
