Can you walk the course instead of run?

Yes, you can walk, run, skip or whatever you'd like!

This is such a fun event and a wonderful tradition for your Thanksgiving Holiday. I've walked or run the Turkey Trot for many years living in Tri-Cities but haven't done it for the past several years.

The American Red Cross provides resources and services to our community through its members and volunteers. The Annual run helps raise funds to support these services.

'This long-standing tradition raises critical funds to help support our local community during one of life's darkest moments - a home fire. Every day home fires bring unimaginable loss to families. In a matter of minutes, everything they know and love is lost.

If you've ever wondered what that really means, please take a look at this video, which features one of our local board members, Carmel Perez, and our local Red Cross Chapter's work on FREE smoke alarm installations.

Tri-Citians often dress up in fun Thanksgiving attire and make it a festive gathering with family and friends.

How much does it cost to participate?

I love fun ways to raise money. The cost is moderate. You can pre-register for a lower price each year. You can also pay day of the event for a bit more.

18 Things That You Shouldn't Say at the Thanksgiving Table

Ah, Thanksgiving! When families come together all over Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois to give thanks and eat a whole bunch of food. It's usually all fun and smiles unless that ONE family member who has no filter decides to show up. You just never know what they will say and unfortunately, that's the problem! To help alleviate any unnecessary drama this year, just text your family member that causes issues with their mouth and pass along this list of "Things NOT to Say at the Thanksgiving Table".
