THRIVE! Turkey 5!For the first time in its seven-year history, THRIVE! Southern Lorain County is sponsoring an exciting “THRIVE! Turkey 5!” 5K Race and one-mile Fun Run.
The signature event kicks off on Thanksgiving morning at 9 a.m., November 23, 2023, with a fast flat course through the charming neighborhoods of Wellington. At 8:30 a.m. there will be a one-mile Fun Run for kids on the Football Stadium track. “The ‘THRIVE! Turkey 5!’ run-walk fits the THRIVE! mission, which focuses on healthy eating, active living and social/emotional support. It’s all to reduce the risks of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. With the run-walk we are encouraging people from all over southern Lorain County to kick-start their cold-weather exercise activities,” says Carol Burke, facilitator of THRIVE!. ”Come out, enjoy some exercise and get to know your neighbors,” she adds.
