Tidewell Turkey Trot
Join us for our Thanksgiving-themed 5K in Lakewood Ranch. The stroller- and pet-friendly event follows a route from Health Parkway onto Town Center Parkway and back. Plenty of turkey-themed volunteers, water stop and music will shepherd the participants along. Chip timing by Fit2Time, then a great after party and awards ceremony. Proceeds benefit Tidewell Hospice services and programs in Manatee, Sarasota, DeSoto and Charlotte Counties. Kids Turkey Dashes begin at 7:15 a.m. and the 5K Run or Walk begins at 8 a.m., with runners going ahead of the walkers and those with dogs or strollers.
