Run Northbest Virtual Turkey Trot 5K/10K

As we quickly approach the season of gratitude and giving, we’ve been thinking of ways to come together as a community again and give back to those in need. Run Northbest recognizes a need to help support!

We are excited to announce that this Thanksgiving, Thursday, 11/26, Run Northbest will be promoting a VIRTUAL Turkey Trot 5K and 10K race. Similar to our last virtual event in the Spring, 100% of proceeds will go to a good cause supporting those in need including Meals on Wheels and Union Gospel Mission.

Participating in this virtual race may be your opportunity to help support and you can participate from wherever you live. Stay updated daily by following us on Instagram at @RunNorthbest.

Haven’t participated in a virtual event before? There’s not much to it! Follow the following three simple steps:

Step 1) Register based on the distance you want to complete (either 5K or 10K). Note- for those of you in full quarantine and/or are not leaving the house at all, please feel free to get creative and create your own exercises from home. For example, track your steps for the day with your regular movement or do some stretches. Roughly 2,000 steps translates to 1 mile.

Step 2) Encourage friends and family to register and virtually participate too!

Ste 3) On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, 11/26, plan accordingly to complete your 5K/10K distance by yourself, with your household, or virtually with friends and family from across the world! Tag us on Instagram so we can follow along, #RNBTurkeyTrot.
