Thanksgiving Turkey Trot with a Twist : Southaven
Thanksgiving Turkey Trot with a Twist is a free community run hosted by The Well Pilates in Southaven, Mississippi, in partnership with North Mississippi Endurance. The event benefits the Dream Center Food Bank and is described as family-friendly and open to all fitness levels.
The route uses a half mile out and back course that participants may repeat during a 50-minute group run. Examples given include running one mile, completing a full 5K by doing multiple laps, or walking with others. Participants are encouraged to bring food donations to carry along the route; donated items are collected at the turnaround point.
Prizes and raffle entries are part of the event. Raffle entries are earned in several ways including showing a race bib, attending a Pilates class, donating food items, and donating money with a stated amount per raffle ticket. Special prizes are designated for the first three runners to complete a 5K. Participants may create or bring their own race bibs.
An optional gratitude stretch and yoga class is offered at the studio before the run. After the activity there will be coffee, hot cocoa, donuts, and prize drawings at the studio location on Getwell Road. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
