The Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning was a huge success. It’s such a wonderful way to start this special holiday. The 5K run is hosted by the LifeTime Fitness Run Club to raise donations for the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Food Pantry. It was the 8th year of the run and the donations and participants have doubled in the past two years. This year there were 282 participants who donated $2,200 and 1,500 pounds of food for the pantry.
It’s so inspiring to witness all the participants and families who come to run/walk together while supporting a valuable local charity. It couldn’t happen without the exceptional support of the Algonquin LifeTime Fitness Run Club. Those 30 plus volunteers work hard to make this an enjoyable, healthy, safe way to celebrate Thanksgiving.
