7th Annual Prodisee Pantry Turkey Trot

Description

The 7th Annual Prodisee Pantry Turkey Trot runs through Old Towne Daphne on Saturday, October 22th with both a 5K Race and a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk. The 5K Race starts at 8 a.m. on Main Street at City Hall. It follows a fast course as it winds through Old Towne Daphne. The Fun Run begins at 9 a.m. Walkers are encouraged to participate in the Fun Run. A family friendly festival includes free food, inflatables, games and other family activities. We can’t forget about our teams! Prizes will be awarded for largest team, most funds raised, team spirit, most cans collected, cutest booth and more. So grab some friends, start training, and join in the fun. Proceeds from the Turkey Trot benefit Prodisee Pantry, Baldwin County's largest nonprofit emergency food pantry. Turkey Trot participants are also encouraged to bring non-perishable canned food donations to the race. This community ministry brings hope by feeding physical, emotional hunger! Volunteers provided fresh produce, meats, eggs, bread, canned staple foods and warm smiles to 9,000 families so far this year. That equates to 20,000 individuals who had healthy food to eat. The Turkey Trot provides funding for Prodisee Pantry's Thanksgiving project. Last November 1,502 families were blessed with nine tons of turkeys and over 10 tons of special holiday foods in addition to the weekly emergency food allocation. Each registration equals a turkey! Registration forms are available online at http://prodiseepantry.org/campaigns/turkey-trot-2016 Participants can also register at Running Wild in Fairhope and at Prodisee Pantry. Register by October 10th to be guaranteed a cute t-shirt.
