Forma Gym Celebrates 25th Anniversary Turkey Trot
Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2017 -- Forma Gym Celebrates 25th Anniversary Turkey Trot
Slogan: “Huffin’ and Puffin’ for Turkey and Stuffin’!”
Walnut Creek, CA: Before this year’s Thanksgiving feast, thousands of runners and walkers will join their friends, family, and neighbors at the 25th Anniversary Forma Gym Turkey Trot in beautiful Downtown Walnut Creek. This race has become a tradition in the community, with last year’s event drawing over 6,500 participants, and includes something for everyone: a 5k, 10k, Kids’ Fun Runs, post-race festivities and a costume contest.
The event will kick off with scheduled speeches by Parys Haralson, a former linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, and the Mayor of Walnut Creek, Rich Carlston. The event originally started as a fun way to encourage Forma Gym’s health club members and their families to “move their feet before they eat” on Thanksgiving morning but has evolved into a tremendously successful charity event. This year’s race will benefit the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano, Walnut Creek Education Foundation (WCEF), (PEAK), The Rollins Family Foundation, Forma Kids Foundation, and the Wellness City Challenge.
The event is held Thanksgiving morning, November 23rd from 8-11am.
The 5k and 10k begin and end at Civic Park (1375 Civic Dr., Walnut Creek, CA).
Awards will be presented to overall male and female finishers in the 5k, 10k, and to the top three finishers in each age division.
In partnership with our Forma Kids Foundation (formaturkeytrot.com/formakids), Forma Gym also sponsors an annual turkey giveaway, at which 1,000 turkeys are given away to low-income families in East Oakland. This year’s Turkey Giveaway will be held on Monday, November 20th at Feed My Sheep Food Pantry in Oakland, CA.
