The annual fun-run Turkey Trot is today. I know it's Thanksgiving, but, before you eat, move your feet!The Blue Care Network of Michigan has joined the Grand Rapids Public Schools as the presenting sponsor for the annual 5-k run/walk. Runners and walkers will begin at 8 a.m. this morning at the VanAndel Arena, downtown, run the route and finish back at the arena running inside the buildings arena as they finish.

Funds raised through the Turkey Trot support GRPS athletics and offset the costs of pay-to-play for the more than 6,000 student athletes in kindergarten through 12th grade. With the sponsorship of Blue Care Network of Michigan, the 5k run and walk will allow students to participate in sports programs at no cost to their families.

More that 2,500 runners and walkers are expected. There will also be a mini trot 1k race for children 12-years-old and under.

It's not too late to enter even though it begins this morning at 8. You can sign up right at the site.

Happy Thanksgiving!
