Five kilometers might not counteract all that turkey you’ll be eating, but it’s better than nothin’, and in might just give you a little more room, and appetite, to work with.
The annual Turkey Trot returns for its 10th year, Thurs., Nov. 27, 9 a.m. This classic community event benefits the Friday Harbor Food Bank, and is fun for everyone involved.
“This is a no stress event,” said organizer Paul Hopkins, “It’s an easy, no-hassle way to give back to the community.”
Hopkins predicts a sunny, 70-degree day for this year’s trot. In past years, he notes, it’s been windy, and even snowy, but oddly enough there hasn’t been a rainy run yet.
Registration is $5 for adults, plus two cans of food, and $2 for youth under 12, plus two cans of food. Registration begins at 8 a.m., at Friday Harbor Suites. The 5K run (3.1 miles) commences and finishes at the Suites.
