"Hi there, ho there, hello there! It's ME! Your favorite turkey friend, Tommy Gobbler! Before you sit down this Thanksgiving and eat all my pals, earn that bird by participating in the annual STRUTTIN' FOR THE STUFFIN' ISLAND PHOTO VIRTUAL 5K! Don't help yourself to more mashed potatoes without lacing up your sneakers first and completing 3.1 miles of this virtual race. Go at your own pace, whenever and wherever you decide! Feel that sense of accomplishment as you eat that second slice of pumpkin pie. You'll be thankful for all those calories you burned!"
