Meals on Wheels (MOW) is pleased to announce its 7th Annual Turkey Trot 1 Mile & 5K Fundraising Walk/Waddle/Run, taking place on Sunday, 24th November 2024. This event offers participants an excellent opportunity to engage in physical activity while supporting a meaningful cause – raising essential funds to combat senior hunger in the Cayman Islands.
Scheduled the weekend before both American and Cayman Thanksgiving, the Turkey Trot allows participants to prepare for the holiday season while giving back to those in need. “As we enter a season of celebration and indulgence, the Turkey Trot is the perfect way to get active and give back before the festivities begin. We encourage individuals, families, and groups to join us at Bayshore Mall for a fun and meaningful event. Whether you’re a serious runner, a family wanting to get active, or just someone looking for a leisurely walk, everyone is welcome,” said MOW Chief Executive, Jennifer West.
Online registration is now open and easily available on www.mealsonwheels.ky . There are four age categories and registration fees are as follows:
• Adults (18+): $25 KYD
• Teens (11-17): $20 KYD
• Children (5-10): $16 KYD
• Infants (Under 4): FREE
Refreshments, awards, and raffle prizes will be available immediately after the race. “This fun run will not be timed but we will still be recognising overall winners, as well prizes for “The Best Dressed” turkey themed costume. Additionally, the first 200 people to cross the finish line will receive medals and everyone will have a chance to win some of the amazing raffle prizes up for grabs, including gift certificates from local restaurants, excursions, and jewellery,” added Ms. West.
A limited supply of race t-shirts will be available for pick-up on the day of the event, with check- in starting at 2:30 pm, warm-up/stretches at 3:30 pm at Bayshore Mall on South Church Street, where the race starts at 4:00 pm.
The event is made possible thanks to the incredible support of Kirk Freeport, Cayman National Bank, Progressive Distributors, Saxon, Cafe Del Sol, Kirk Market, Creative Concierge, and Radio Cayman.
