NO ONE IS TOO HOT FOR THE TURKEY TROT
Cache Valley residents start off the holiday season with a healthy activity
SMITHFIELD, Utah-Oct 9.- The 5th annual Turkey Trot run is going to be held on Nov. 22 at the Smithfield Recreation Center. All events (5K, 10K, 1 mile) begin at 10:00 am. Profits made from this race will be used for a youth sports scholarship program
Kalie Vickers, an upcoming participant in this years 10K race, has been training for three weeks now. “I’ve never had any desire to run a long distance race. However when I heard about the Turkey Trot and that all proceeds go to charity, I knew I had to get involved.” Vickers is doing a twelve week training program to get in shape for the upcoming race.
Not all participants have to go to such lengths to be involved. The 1 mile and 5K can be done at any pace and any age group can participate. Pre-registration before Nov. 18 is $13.00 with a shirt, and $6.00 without a shirt. Any registration after the 18th will be $15.00 with a shirt and $10.00 without a shirt.
Smithfield Recreation Center is striving to make the youth sports leagues available for anyone interested in participating. We encourage residents to get active and donate their time and money this holiday season. Registration can be done at www.smithfieldrecreation.com.

I loved this release. I thought it was great. One thing though, I don't think it is necessary to add the date in your dateline. Just a thought! Great job!
