The Campus Connection Online - November 2, 2009

WHAT: Combining a friendly spirit of competition with community goodwill, Cerritos College will host its annual Turkey Trot on Tuesday, Nov. 17. To enter the 1.5-mile walk/run, participants must donate one canned food item, which is then provided to the City of Norwalk's Food Bank for needy families in the Norwalk area.

Each year, the event raises nearly 1,000 cans of food from its 200-plus participants. Many who participate choose to exceed the one-can requirement, while others choose not to walk or run but donate to the event.

The first 100 finishers will receive a commemorative Turkey Trot T-shirt. Raffle will begin at 11:45 a.m. Race participants do not need to be present to win. Race participants also have the opportunity to earn prizes for guessing their completion time most accurately.

Watches are not allowed for the event.

Pre-registration is encouraged and appreciated. Registration form is available here.

WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 17
Race Time: 11:05 a.m.

WHERE: Cerritos College
Falcon Square
11110 Alondra Blvd., Norwalk, CA 90650
