Turkey Trot is five days away!

The 2016 edition of the Turkey Trot @ Raven Gleneagles is five days away. The race will begin Saturday November 19th at 10:55 AM at the corner of Raven and Will Parkway.

5 points to consider as we move closer to the third installment.

1. The course has changed. It is still a 5 kilometer neighborhood street course; however, it starts on Raven Road before going into the Gleneagles neighborhood before looping back into Raven.

2. The race will take place on November 19th. The 2011 race also took place on November 19th.

3. This year's race will benefit Assurance for Life. The first year's trot in 2010 was without benefit and the 2011 trot raised money for the First Christian Church's hand bell choir. Assurance for Life reaches out to women, men, and children affected by unplanned pregnancy and is based in Lexington, KY.

4. Due to the many turns on this year's course, there will be chalk on the route directing the trotter's correct way to go. However, if you do get lost, the best thing to do is keep running.

5. There will be a stroller division this year to accommodate those with small children.

See everyone Saturday!
