All invited to 2nd annual Turkey Trot

The Triathlon and Fitness Club invites the community to kick-off Thanksgiving at the 2nd annual Canyon Lake Turkey Trot, a non-competitive 5K Run/Walk and a 1K Kids Fun Run.

The event starts with registration at 8 a.m. at Gault Field. There is no entry fee; however, participants must sign a waiver. The club requests donations of canned food to benefit the Salvation Army.

Commemorative Turkey Trot T-shirts will be sold for $10 with the proceeds supporting the club’s activities. Quantities are limited.

Participants can pre-register and order a T-shirt in advance on Wednesday, Nov. 27, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the home of Mark Yegsigian at 30224 Longhorn Dr. Early bird registrants will receive a raffle ticket for a free T-shirt, to be awarded on race day.

The 5K (3.1 miles) Run/Walk route begins at Gault Field and travels down Hoofbeat Way, turning right on Big Range Road, left on Longhorn Drive to Strawberry Lane and back to the start.

The 1K Fun Run will follow the same route but will turn around at Whirlaway Court. The event is not timed but the first male and female finishers will receive a pumpkin pie.

Parking at Gault Field will be limited; participants are asked to park on Longhorn Drive or side streets, avoiding Hoofbeat Way. Complete details, a map of the course, the T-shirt design and a downloadable event waiver can be found on the club’s website at
