One of the things I just adore about the dailymile community is the massive amount of support. Complete strangers are there to give you a high five for an awesome accomplishment, a virtual hug after a horrible race. Advice and friendship flourishes over there. But now, it’s time for us to reach OUTSIDE of our community this Thanksgiving, and support others who need our help.

Join us for the Virtual “Feed the Turkey” 5k!

Run, Walk, Bike, or Trot a 5k while benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (they will receive 100% of the donations!!)

Here’s what you do: Visit the website here http://www.dailymile.com/turkey_trot

1) Tweet, Facebook, or blog that you are participating (easy buttons on the site!)

2) Pick a donation amount. $1, $5, or $10. Everything helps! (donations made securely with paypal)

3) On Thanksgiving day, run (walk, bike, trot, skip) a 5k – anywhere! Dailymile will pick a few lucky winners to hand out prizes. Everyone will win a “I earned my turkey!” printable participation certificate. If you want to be competitive, join the official challenge on dailymile

Why Trot? dailymile says: For that warm fuzzy feeling when you donate to charity… oh, and approximately 351 calories in the bank. St. Jude’s helps advance the treatment and prevention of catastrophic diseases in children. U.S. News & World Report ranked it the #1 children’s cancer hospital and it’s the only Comprehensive Cancer Center that’s devoted solely to children. We’re also giving away cool stuff!

So go now, what are you waiting for!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spread the word!!

    I was using Daily MIle for awhile an dhad my daily mile workouts on my blog but it kept saying that my last workout was posted like 2 minutes ago and it would never change…does anyone who uses daily mile know what was going on? I finally just started posting my workouts in a separate link on my blog.
