The Turkey Trot is Back in Business – Virtually! Thanks to Michelle Hammond for seeing an opportunity, bringing it to the PTO board and chairing our Turkey Trot this year. So, here’s how it will work:
o Create a team of up to 8 racers for your student, company, tennis team, etc. to see who wins the prizes for raising the most funds and/or be entered for random prize drawings when your team completes the race! Invite neighbors, grandparents, babysitters, remote working team, etc.
o It doesn’t matter where a racer lives. We’ve got racers all over the globe!
o Sign up at https://blespto.racery.com/r/2020-berkeley-lake-turkey-trot/.
o Race begins Saturday, Nov. 21, at 12 a.m. We will be tracking time until Sunday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. ET.
o You can actually run the distance as portrayed on our customized BLES Turkey Trot route, run another route of your choosing or choose from a variety of activities to do anywhere you want (including cleaning house and playing on the playground!). Then log the activity each day of the week and see your team’s avatar move across the route according to the miles associated with that activity. Catch a Google Street View of the new virtual locale, then cheer your real fellow racers by clicking “likes” and posting pics and comments!
Even though we can’t meet at the school for the run/walk and eat pancakes, we hope you’ll join us virtually to support the teachers and students of Berkeley Lake Elementary School. The Turkey Trot has always been a great way to foster a sense of community for our school and neighbors! This year, it’ll be a great way to celebrate the week of Thanksgiving together with friends and loved ones – no matter where you are!
We won’t have t-shirts available this year but share your race bib on social media! Brag about your streaks or longest mileage! Take a pic with it on at the real life location you’ve “run” to! Let’s see who “runs” but lives the furthest away! It’s great way for loved ones who live far away to feel a part of your student’s world.
