INA, Ill. (Nov. 6, 2014) - Thanksgiving is coming, so it’s time to get ahead of the feast with the Turkey Leg 5K run and walk at the new Rend Lake College Rec Center. Registration will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, with the run starting at 9 a.m.
Along with a $20 registration fee, participants can win awards for top finishing spots and all will receive an event t-shirt. Proceeds from the event will be donated to a local charity.
Rec Center Director Tyler O’Daniel said the event will be a good way to introduce the community to the new Rec Center, formerly known as the Hitting Zone, as well as provide a healthy and exciting way to get into the holiday spirit.
“We want the Turkey Leg 5K to be a fun way for people to get out one more time before they feast over the holidays,†said O’Daniel. “We also want to showcase what the Rec Center can offer the local community and give a taste of what is to come. I’m very excited for our first event.â€
The Rec Center will offer personal training, individual and team camps, tournaments, and many other areas.
