Five Seasons Indoor Turkey Trot Nov. 15th Aids Family in Need

For 30 minutes, participants log as much distance as possible on the treadmill. The winner selects one family to receive a food basket.

For some families, making ends meet is a treadmill-like experience—as soon as they feel caught up with the expenses of day-to-day living, there always seems to be something else that threatens to push them over the edge.

That economic instability can heighten around the holidays, even as parents are striving to provide gifts that will make it a festive and memorable time for their children.

Against that backdrop, Five Seasons Family Sports Club in Burr Ridge on Saturday, November 15th is hosting the Indoor Turkey Trot in support of a needy area family. The event is from 10 a.m. to Noon and revolves around treadmills in the club at 6901 S. Madison.
