It’s that time of year again… Turkey with all the trimmins’ and the 18th Annual GE Run Through The Woods on Thanksgiving morning. As they have every year, proceeds from the run will go to benefit the South Montgomery County YMCA Partners Program and other educational programs in the area.

The run is for serious runners as well as general exercise enthusiasts and visiting kids and grandparents who just want an excuse to get out and stretch their legs before they sit down to a big Thanksgiving dinner. You might even feel a little less guilt about having the second helping of dressing!

The activities start at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday and there are events for kids and teens, as well as the 5 miles run. Last year there were over 4,000 folks who participated to help raise $100,000.

The entry fee is $25 to $30 on race day, depending on which event you want to participate in. No pets are allowed on the course, no rollerblades, jogging strollers or bicycles on the race course, but wagons and strollers are welcomed on the walk course.

So, plan a little ahead, do some of your prep work early and head out to the Run in the Woods this Thanksgiving to help several worthy local programs and get your metabolism revved up for that fabulous feast!
