Turkey Trot date nearing

SANDPOINT — Don’t look now, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which can only mean one thing: It’s time to lace up the running shoes for the annual Turkey Trot.

The food drive event starts at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning, with the start located next to the tennis courts at Travers Park. Participants are asked to come a little early to sign a release, and drop off their non-perishable food items for the Bonner Community Food Bank.

Presented by Sandpoint West Athletic Club and Sandpoint Parks and Recreation Department, participants can choose between a 1K, 5K or 10K walk or run. This is a low-key, un-timed, fun event, with all ages and all paces welcome (no dogs, please).

The best costume will win a fresh pie from Sandpoint’s Pie Hut. Hot drinks will be supplied by the Dover Bay Resort Community.
