Hey everyone,
So it's that time of year again! The Turkey Trot! This is the day every year where Tech athletes from the past reunite with former teammates, and current athletes who are still in shape run a 3-mile fun run. Those who are out of shape attempt to run but we all know how that turns out... not well!

Hey everyone,
So it's that time of year again! The Turkey Trot! This is the day every year where Tech athletes from the past reunite with former teammates, and current athletes who are still in shape run a 3-mile fun run. Those who are out of shape attempt to run but we all know how that turns out... not well!
But anyway, I hope that all of you show up! We have had great success in the past -- last year, we had more than 45 people show up but I think we can do even better this year! I think our goal (and we are all runners so you not we have goals) is 60 people. Let's do it!
Seriously though, this is a great event for you to see people that you haven't seen in a while and just have a fun morning reminiscing, running, and burning some calories before you consume 10-15 pounds of turkey and desserts later in the day.
*Also, as an added bonus for boys to show up, Robyn Schiff, a current Senior (yes, little Schiff to those of you who know the actual cool Schiffs - Robert and Andrew - has told all the girls to show up and "outnumber the boys." Now guys, first of all, she isn't even a cool Schiff and secondly, you have to enough pride to show up to make sure that we outnumber the girls. So there is your added incentive!
**Also, as a final note: For all those who do show up, there is no entry fee to race but they do ask that you PLEASE BRING non-pershiable food donations or money that can be donated to help feed people on Thanksgiving! As much support as possible is greatly appreciated! Please remember to bring these items if you are able!
Thank you and I hope to see you all there!! (Please invite anyone who isn't a member of the group to show up and thank you for your presence and continued dedication to the team!)
