West Linn Turkey Trot Trail Race
A note about the course: most of this trail and path is heavily covered by trees and so your GPS device will not measure accurately. For most of you, your GPS will read less distance than you have actually moved. Portions of the course have two-way Trot Traffic so make sure to keep your eyes peeled and to STAY RIGHT as much as possible. Our official course will be measured with a certiified device and mile markers will indicate the actual miles (not the GPS miles). Gobble. Gobble. Trot!
