What for? Turkey Trot 2023

What is that? Mackenzie and I are trying to create a culminating event for Gait-to Gate month (November).

What are the details? Honestly, it's currently just an idea. Maybe it's a 5k Walk/Run. Or a 10k. Maybe it's a Half Marathon! After all, Gait-to-Gate is all about setting personal walking goals. Why not set a new goal to run a mile or to walk further than you ever have before?

Why? Fair question! I set a personal goal earlier this year to walk a half marathon and I accomplished that goal on May 2 in 3 hours and 20 minutes. And, I did it entirely within Trilogy at the Polo Club utilizing as many of the trails as possible.

The route looked like this.

Whether we try to do a community event that involves a Half Marathon remains to be seen but for anyone who's interested in doing that, the time to start training is now. There are only 10 weeks between now and November 25.

In the meantime, the event itself will take shape and details will be provided here

So you walked three miles ...

 What's next? The Palm Desert Half Marathon and 5k  is February 18, 2024. There is a fee for this event but you get a cool finisher's metal, an official race t-shirt, post-race snacks, a racing bib with official chip timing, and one free beer at the beer garden. So, there's all that. Plus, Mackie and I will both be there. We would love to see you there! What a better way to kick off your Half Marathon training than with the 2023 Turkey Trot at Trilogy? Yippee!

Walking With Purpose

According to an anonymous source (because they were unauthorized to speak about the event), the beneficiary of Gait-to-Gate month will be St. Jude Children's Research Hospital . The more we walk, the more a certain organization will donate.  This will be a national event to see which Trilogy community can raise the most money.  Details of the financial arrangements will be provided in an upcoming press release.  In the meantime, find your walking shoes and get prepared to have fun, connect with your community, and  WALK WITH A PURPOSE!
