Junior Turkey Trotters
The Dana Point Turkey Trot is pleased to roll out a youth running program leading up to and in conjunction with this year's Thanksgiving Day race!
Let's get our kids moving, motivated and ready for the America's Turkey Trot®. For 34 years the Dana Point Turkey Trot has become a family tradition and the kids race is one of the highlights of the event. This year we are adding a program for kids of all ages to take part in! Each child that registers for the Junior Turkey Trotter program will receive a special training t-shirt at the kick-off party, the official race t-shirt and goodie bag on race day, and a special medal upon completion of the program.
WHO: Children ages 5 - 12
WHAT: Junior Turkey Trotters Program, Kids' Gobble Wobble at the Dana Point Turkey Trot
WHEN: The program kicks off at the end of September and continues through 11/24/11 (race day)
WHERE: Children will accumulate mileage on their own, through school or through organized sports practices, totaling 25.2 miles. The final mile of the program will be run at the Kids' Gobble Wobble, part of the Dana Point Turkey Trot, 11/24/11. They'll be accumulating a total of 26.2 miles - that's a marathon!
WHY: Because it's fun... Because it's healthy... Because there's extra swag for the kids!
The Dana Point Turkey Trot helps raise money for Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. For each dollar we give they can serve three meals! Run knowing you are helping feed the hungry in Orange County.
