Fitness NOW Turkey Trot
November 28 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
$35
Fitness NOW is hosting this event to help support one of our founding values as a business – “Connect Community”. We believe in the support of others and, like we tell our fitness classes, surrounding yourself with people who have like vision, is one key to success!
We will have clearly marked 5k and 10k courses, for all fitness levels…walk, jog, or go out there and win! Also registration will include a Turkey Trot shirt (if registered by deadline)!
In addition to getting out and moving your bodies before you feast on Thanksgiving, your sponsorship/registration also helps support the “Shop with a Cop” event. They raise money throughout the year to take underprivileged children shopping at Christmas time. There are over 30 Jefferson County First Responder Agencies that take part in the two days of shopping. Last year they shopped for over 550 kids and they each got $150 to spend at Walmart. They shop for kids, grades K-6, from schools in all 11 school districts located in Jefferson County. They reach out to the counselors at each school and let them know how many children they can shop for and the schools pick the kids that get to go. They treat it like a Field trip and bus the kids to Walmart, where they get a first responder escort to the stores. Once there, they get greeted by volunteers, have cookies and milk, and get to see Santa. Then they get a gift card with $150 on it and they meet with a first responder, Police, Fire, EMS, or Dispatch, and go shopping for whatever they want.
Such an amazing opportunity to reach our community!
If you want to join us for race day – we would love to have you!
