It's Thanksgiving day! But before you scarf down that stuffing and pumpkin pie, you've got to earn your food coma. Burn some calories at Turkey Trot OC, the annual event where community members can run or walk a 5K in the hopes of raising funds to feed those in need of a proper Thanksgiving meal. Participants can pledge as many hot meals as they can at the time of registration, and pledging at the level of VIP will gain you priority parking and check-in, as well as a VIP table at the award ceremony. But really, what greater reward is there besides knowing you made this holiday better for someone else? Spread some good Karma today before you gobble-gobble your evening feast.
