VIRTUALRACEWHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE?

TURKEYTROTWHY THANKSGIVING DAY?

VIRTUAL RACE - Technology allows community interaction, without demanding that we all be in the same place at the same time. Virtual Races provide runners the opportunity to participate in an awe-some race event from wherever they are! Connect with a global running community through social media, share course maps, and enjoy the flexibility of running your own race.

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” - Meister Eckhart

Of all our virtual races, the Turkey Trot is ourfavorite. Not just because it was our first virtual race, but because it provides a way to elevate our morning Thanksgiving run by having shirts and medals for us to enjoy as well! Additionally, Thanksgiving is usually full of logistical challenges. Whether you are busy preparing food, travelling to be with family or friends, or something else, for many it can be challenging to attend a race on Thanksgiving day.

WHY SHOULD I RUN? - Filling out your race calen-dar is becoming increasingly more expensive and wasteful! Virtual Races keep race entries low and allow you the flexibility to run when and where you want. You can be a part of the global running com-munity whether you are physically running by yourself or you are meeting up with other local runners to participate in these events.

A Virtual Race provides the benefit of a race (bling and motivation to run), but all the flexibility and convenience of a morning run.

A Thanksgiving virtual race provides the flexibility to enjoy a run before or after your Thanksgiving Day meal.

As runners we have much to be thankful for: Health and Family being mentioned most often. Running with family is such a wonderful way to celebrate and consider all the bounty that we have. I hope everyone will take some time during their run to really think about how lucky we all are, and I hope we spend the next 365 days being thankful for it.

“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the rue measure of our Thanksgiving.”- W.T. Purkiser
