While in Temecula, California recently, I picked up some information about a Temecula Turkey Trot to be held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 28.

The Turkey Trot to be held at Cougar Vineyard & Winery is located on De Portola Road. Funds raised will go to sustainable energy projects in Africa. Participants can register as teams or individuals for a 5K or 10K run/walk. A free wine tasting will be available after the race.

Anyone participating can register at http://www.active.com/running/temecula-ca/temecula-turkey-trot-5k-and-10k-2010. Registration closes on Thanksgiving at 1am.

The event is sponsored by Sun Strides Foundation, a nonprofit organization.

What better way to spend the Saturday after Thanksgiving and a day of Black Friday shopping than to attend the Temecula Turkey Trot?

Cheers! Kathy
