Vienna Turkey Trot, Interest?

Hey All!

I am trying to meet my goal of completing another 5k by the end of this year. As I investigated my options I found the Vienna Turkey Trot. I just thought I would put it out here to my DMV community to see if anyone else is interested in doing this too. :) I plan on walking/jogging this 5k but all speeds are welcome to join in. It could be fun! Here is the site with the info if you want to learn more http://www.viennaturkeytrot.com/. :) Let me know if you have any interest, we could turn it into a meetup if enough people are interested. There are also a 10k, and a one mile fun run for those who don't have interest in a 5k.

Thanks!

    Sounds like fun. I have wanted to do a 5k and This might be a good first one to attempt/complete. I would definitely want to take it easy because of my ankle so it might be a lot more walking than jogging.
  • I'll look into it! I've always wanted to do a 5k

    I really would love to do a 5K especially with a group but darn it if I'm not already booked for a mommy gig.

    Too bad you won't be able to join us.

    Well I'm signed up but my ankle/foot has been a re-occurring injury that has been sidelining me. I am going to start swimming and hopefully the low impact exercise will help get me over the injury. I know it is still a while before the 5k but time goes quick. I really want to do this 5k and make the most out of my registration fee.
