Looking for a healthy way to start your Thanksgiving Day celebration? Consider making the trek to San Jose for the 8th annual Turkey Trot. The Turkey Trot provides a fun option for every member of the family, from a costume contest to a full 10K race! It's an exciting morning, and you're guaranteed to run into (maybe not literally!) someone you know either before, during or after the race! There are lots of give-away goodies, store and product discounts, great music to listen to, and by registering, you are contributing to several important Bay Area charities, such as Second Harvest Food Bank, the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County and the Children's Health Initiative of Santa Clara County.
