Organiser's Description
NEIGHBORHOOD TURKEY TROT FOR THANKSGIVING
This Turkey Trot 5K will be a suuuuper informal, fun, family-friendly run around the Historic Grapevine neighborhood. Some additional details:
* The race will kick off at roughly 8AM from outside our driveway
* The course will be marked out with some chalk along the route
* Kids, bikes, strollers, pups, etc. are all welcome (again, suuuuper informal)
* We won't have bibs, chips, or timers (reminder.. suuuuuuper informal!)
* If you're driving from outside the neighborhood, please park at one of the following locations (all very short walks); please do not park on streets in the neighborhood.
* Grapevine Faith Elementary School (730 E Worth St, Grapevine, TX 76051)
* Northwest Crossing Center (445 E. Northwest Highway, Grapevine, TX 76051)
* Grapevine First Baptist (301 E Texas St, Grapevine, TX 76051)
* We won't have medals, or winners, or podiums, and it'll be officially a 5k because our watches say so (but USA Track & Field certified, it is not..haha).
* It will be a ton of fun with lots of community and hopefully the start of a new tradition to become a part of the holiday season in Grapevine.
What was envisioned as a tiny little get together has turned into much bigger of an event for our local community--which is cool!!--we'd love for folks who run/walk to donate what you can to our local community charity, GRACE Grapevine [https://grace.ejoinme.org/MyPages/GRACEDonationPage/tabid/41494/Default.aspx], and/or bring some canned goods on race day. Looking forward to meeting so many new folks and to sharing what's going to be a fun run around the neighborhood!
