Oregon Thanksgiving Day Run

10)  Last year this event raised nearly $11,000, funding local food bank
for an entire year & feeding hundreds of families.
9)  Helping needy families is the perfect
excuse to escape the in-laws for a while.
8)  This is the only Thanksgiving Day run in the
Portland area that has professional timing.
7)  Great chance to help your kids see how
easy it is to help others.
6)  The opportunity to see what 5 tons
of food donations looks like.
5)  You know you won’t be doing
anything physical after your
tryptophan-induced
Thanksgiving coma.
4)   All cute and inspiring “I’m Grateful for… ”
signs painted by kids along the route
3)   Online Registration is EASY
2)   The cool FREE t-shirt you get
when you donate food
1)   You get to enjoy the rest of the day
knowing you did something healthy for you
and helped others too!  You’re so good!
