2010 TURKEY TROT NEWS

Greetings,

We're excited to welcome you back to the 3rd Annual EverywhereUGO Turkey Trot event. The Thanksgiving Day run/walk will route the expected 1000 runners through scenic downtown Traverse City! From beginners to elite runners, this event is for everyone! Why not bring a friend with you too?

So what are you waiting for? Run, jog, walk or roll through downtown before you dig into the bird and eat more than you should. You'll recieve an awesome goody bag, a limited edition Turkey Trot t-shirt, post-race refreshments, an opportunity to bid on silent auction items and the warm feeling inside knowing you're helping worthy causes- the YMCA, TART and the Children's Advocacy Center! We were able to donate over $14,000 to the local charities last year and this year's goal to top that.

The event starts and ends at the Holiday Inn West Bay again this year. The route is a hair longer than a 5K...even more reason to over-induldge on the big meal! For all of you out-of-towners, the Holiday Inn has special rates for Turkey Trotters! And as always, our post race food and drinks will warm you after the run. Stick around for the awards and prizes. You won't want to miss this part of the day.

Please register as soon as possible! We are capping the event at 1000 participants. Sign up now and enjoy your stylish long-sleeve EverywhereUGO Turkey Trot shirt which is perfect for early morning Black Friday shopping! (Children's T's are available this year, so bring the whole family!)

Again this year we are collecting canned food for the Trinity Lutheran Food Pantry. Bring your non-perishable food to packet pickup or on race day. Last year we had 3 car loads of food to share with our less fortunate neighbors. We have also added donation sections to the online registration so you can easily designate a direct donation to TART, the New YMCA and to the Children's Advocacy Center. Make this event the center of your Thanksgiving tradition this year and many years to come.

In closing, we strongly encourage you to come down and have some fun on Thanksgiving morning and take an extra helping of mashed potatoes as your reward! After all, you deserve it after running or walking our scenic course ! We sincerely invite you to please join EverywhereUGO and our event beneficiaries i water stop runner

Another reason to join us on Thanksgiving Day

Have a guilt-free Turkey Day by participating in our Turkey Trot. Traverse City is just one of many U.S. cities and towns who organizes a Turkey Trot run or walk on the morning of Thanksgiving. These events across the country offer you a great opportunity to burn some calories before your big meal. Check out these tips on how you can make the most of your pre-meal run or walk.

1. Don't eat sneak a piece of turkey before run. Turkey contains L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid with a documented sleep inducing effect. more
