Organiser's description

JOIN US THIS THANKSGIVING, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 28, FOR OUR 5TH ANNUAL SILVER CREEK TURKEY TROT 5K!



Enjoy running on our cart paths that wind through the tranquility and beautiful mountain views of the Silver Creek golf course. The race may be only 3.1 miles long, but dont be fooled: The hills with 400 ft gain and loss will make you earn your Thanksgiving feast!



In the spirit of Thanksgiving, ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE RUN WILL ONCE AGAIN BENEFIT THE MEETING PLACE MISSION. This 100% self-funded program has a long history of helping local people escape homelessness through providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, and rapid rehousing along with continual case management to ensure success. Over the past 7 years the success rate of people housed has been greater than 95%. Once families or individuals complete the programs at the Meeting Place Mission, they become successful contributing members of the community. The Missions goal is to give everyone willing to put in the work a successful opportunity for permanent housing.
