Hi Everyone,

Sorry, for the last minute post.

Us organizers have already signed up to do the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk and we wanted to also give you the opportunity to do something that would give back to our local community.

I think I can say on behalf of all the organizers, that we feel very fortunate to have been able to organize all these great events for all of you and also to have been able to meet so many wonderful new friends along the way. I honestly have enjoyed all the outstanding events that we've had so far.

So, why not do something that allows us to be able to give back to others who have not been as fortunate as all of us? Also, we'll be getting some good exercise in before stuffing our faces with all the delicious Thanksgiving day treats!

We hope you all can join us for this charitable cause.

Here's an excerpt from the Turkey Trot website of the summary of this event:

"Start Thanksgiving Day off on the right foot at the Applied Materials 'Silicon Valley Turkey Trot'™. Before the big games, the big meal, the parades and the pies why not get in a little exercise with a few thousand neighbors? It's an event the whole family will enjoy. Many have made the "run" or "walk" a Thanksgiving Day tradition.

You'll also be giving "thanks" by helping the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County. These charities provide families with their most basic needs for "health, hope and a home." The Silicon Valley Turkey Trot, founded and produced by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, is in its 5th year and the total amount given to charity is expected to top $1 million by the time the last participant crosses the finish line.

There are several runs and walks to choose from in the 5K and 10K range, along with a kid's fun run. Elite runners, joggers and walkers will enjoy the downtown San Jose course, which is flat, fast and flows through neighborhoods and business areas. New this year will be a special "Costume" run. "
