Want to have some fun, help others and build an appetite for that Thanksgiving turkey? The Bloomsday Road Runners Club’s annual Turkey Trot on Thursday is the solution.

For just a donation of food or money for the Spokane Food Bank you can join your friends and neighbors in an enjoyable 2-, 3- or 5-mile run starting from the Manito Park duck pond at 9 a.m. Registration begins at 8.

Afterward, relax with a cup of hot cider and join in a prize drawing, then head for that Thanksgiving dinner feeling good all over.

A hint from the BRRC: The food bank can purchase $10 worth of food for every $1 donated.
