Run for a Cause: Participate in the Sweaty Yeti Turkey Trot This Thanksgiving

by | Nov 20, 2024

Join us for the 5th Annual Sweaty Yeti Turkey Trot this Thanksgiving on November 28, 2024, at 08:30 AM in beautiful Spirit Lake, Idaho, just a short drive from Sandpoint. This event is not just another race; it’s a chance to kick off your holiday season with a healthy dose of fun and community spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or prefer a stroll with friends and family, this trot welcomes everyone—yes, even your furry friends on leashes!

What to Expect at the Turkey Trot

The Sweaty Yeti Turkey Trot starts on Maine Street in Spirit Lake, where you’ll be greeted by fellow participants and the refreshing smell of fresh air (and maybe some turkey!). Retrofit Athletics is adding a 10K race option this year, perfect for those who want to burn extra calories before diving into their Thanksgiving feasts. The trot is designed for all ages and abilities, so bring your kids (12 and under run free with an adult participant), your pets, and your competitive spirit!

Sign up by the November 15th deadline to snag a race shirt on the day of the event. Latecomers can still join the fun but will receive their shirts later, so don’t delay! Plus, there will be fun giveaways and prizes to keep the excitement alive.

A Cause Worth Running For

What makes this event even more special is its commitment to giving back. Proceeds from the Turkey Trot will support the Spirit Lake Senior Center, which provides vital programs like Meals on Wheels for our senior community members. By participating in this event, you’re not just getting your heart rate up but also investing in the well-being of those who have given so much to our community. Supporting our seniors is essential for maintaining the fabric of our neighborhoods, ensuring they have access to crucial services that enhance their quality of life.
