Christ Church Hosts the
2007 Turkey Trot 5K Fun Run/Walk
Certified by USA Track & Field
and New
Chip Timing!
(Means no more waiting in line to finish!) Put
on your running shoes, or your walking shoes, or even grab your
kids and a stroller. Christ Church of Arlington is hosting its
annual Arlington Turkey Trot: 5k Fun Run/Walk around the Lyon
Park and Ashton Heights neighborhood. The
new Chip Timing means no more standing in line
to finish! The
mission of the Arlington Turkey Trot is to provide an opportunity
for people of all ages to enjoy a fun, healthy Thanksgiving activity
together, and to raise support for two local charities: Arlington-Alexandria
Coalition for the Homeless (AACH) and Doorways
for Women & Families. Visit our "Local
Ministries" page for more about these two groups.
In 2007, (see photos) the
Arlington Turkey Trot had 1,175 registered participants and we raised
more than $17,000 for the
two
charities.
Checks were presented in January
2008 and we celebrated God's grace in blessing this effort to help our
community.
Read more about the 2007 race and see the racing
results!
Last year was such a success and we received such great feedback that this
year we expect to have more than 1,500 participants! So join us for this wonderful
cause
and
fun run/walk!
The Arlington Turkey Trot course has been measured and certified by USA Track & Field
as 5 kilometers. The USA Track & Field Code number is VA-07028-RT.
