Foster's Turkey Trot 5K Run/ Walk
Thanksgiving weekend isthe most heavily-travelled time of the year in the United States.
It's also the time when a large number of joggers and runnerstake part in a variety of events with a Turkey Day theme - somepersons to build up an appetite for a marathon encounter at thetable, and others, after having partaken of the holiday spread,to attempt to get rid of a few excess pounds.
There are, approximately, 112 Thanksgiving Day-related runs in33 states this year, and this does not include Puerto Rico, whereevents of various distances in several towns all have the sametitle - Maraton de Pavo.
Grand Cayman will also have its contribution to the featheredfestivities. The Foster's Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk is scheduledfor Sunday, November 19 at 7:00 a.m. The point-to-point coursebegins at Foster's West Bay store, and follows West Bay Road tofinish at Foster's in the Strand.
The usual across-the-board melange of participants is welcome- from baby chicks, who must be accompanied by a mother hen, allthe way to the wise, old birds who know better than to over-exertthemselves.
Age group winners will gain their own holiday turkey, while topperformers and lucky random winners will enjoy repasts at someof the Island's restaurants.
