THANKSGIVING DAY IS FAST APPROACHING, AND IT IS TIME TO TALK TURKEY.
TURKEY TROT, THAT IS.
ON THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 25, WE WILL BE HOSTING OUR SIXTH ANNUAL APPLIED MATERIALS "SILICON VALLEY TURKEY TROT" NEXT TO THE HP ARENA IN DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE.
BUT IT IS MORE THAN A 5-K RUN OR WALK, OR A 10-K RACE, OR A KID'S FUN RUN - IT HAS BECOME A COMMUNITY TRADITION.
IN ONLY OUR SIXTH YEAR, WE EXPECT 15,000 PAID PARTICIPANTS, SUPPORTED BY 1,000 COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, WITH A STRETCH GOAL OF CONTRIBUTING BACK TO CHARITY MORE THAN $350,000. THOSE FUNDS WILL BE USED TO FEED THE HUNGRY THROUGH SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK, TO HOUSE THE HOMELESS THROUGH THE HOUSING TRUST, AND TO PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE TO POOR CHILDREN THROUGH THE SANTA CLARA FAMILY HEALTH FOUNDATION.
IF YOU HAVE FOOD ON YOUR TABLE, A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR YOUR FAMILY, THEN COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS - THEN SIGN UP AND SHOW UP, AS THERE ARE FAMILIES, KIDS AND SENIORS WHO ARE COUNTING ON US.
GO TO SVTURKEYTROT.COM TO REGISTER TODAY.
THE SILICON VALLEY TURKEY TROT - YOUR BEST EXCUSE TO GET IN A LITTLE EXERCISE BEFORE GOBBLING UP THAT THIRD SLICE OF PIE.

How do you register for the KPMG Veteran's 5k Challenge? I'm a veteran and interested in participating. I could find some description and info on the Turkey Trot website, but there doesn't seem to be any category for it when you press the register online button.
ReplyDeleteoh, I see now. It's on the screen after you select your mileage.
