The new UP Holistic Health and Fitness Club (UPH2F) has been diligently working on hosting a Turkey Trot here on the UP campus on Thanksgiving. This run is all about giving students staying on campus during Thanksgiving break an opportunity to take part in fun physical fitness and to hang out with other students on campus (and to burn off some calories in preparation for a Thanksgiving feast).
The Turkey Trot is a 5k walk/run around the UP campus and will take place on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 23) at 9:00 a.m. and will start/end at Pru-Pitch.
Check-in will begin at 8:45 a.m. If you are driving to campus for the event, please park in the P House parking lot before check-in. This race is FREE to join, and there will be food prizes for the top 3 finishers. There will also be a turkey chase (not an actual turkey, but someone dressed as a turkey), and the first person to catch the turkey will win a pumpkin pie!
This event is for all students, staff/faculty and your friends and family, so help spread the word and invite others to join.
Should you have any questions or require further details, please feel free to contact hafner26@up.edu or yauney26@up.edu. We hope you can join us in making this Thanksgiving Day event a memorable and enjoyable experience for our campus community.
