On Nov. 19 at 8 a.m., the City of Redmond’s first four-mile Poultry Predictor race will begin at the Mackey Creek shelter in Farrel-McWhirter Park at 19545 N.E. Redmond Rd.

The five participants who finish the closest to their predicted times will each win a frozen turkey just in time for Thanksgiving.

The race is open to all levels of runners because finishing first is not the objective. Runners must guess their running time before the race begins and the winners are those who finish closest to their predicted times.

Online registration for the Four-Mile Predictor is available through Nov. 18 here. The fee is $15 without the long sleeve technical t-shirt and $30 with the t-shirt. Race day registration is $20 from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. with a limited supply of shirts available for purchase that day.

The course details are available here. The four-mile out and back course begins at the Mackey Creek Shelter in Farrel-McWhirter Park and runs along the scenic Puget Sound Energy Trail. There are two water stops on the course.
