The crew at the ‘Move Your Feet Before You Eat Foundation’, were thrilled that 1,700 trotters participated in the historic 2020 Virtual Turkey Trot.
Our early estimates show we raised $8,000+ for non-profits that serves Oceanside residents. The best part was that the participants honored our request to socially distance and run at different times. We were down at the amphitheater and it appeared that only about 3-400 people ran, walked or trotted along the strand, most were families. The rest ran somewhere.. any where… and sent us some photos!
We are very thankful that the County of San Diego, City of Oceanside, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Road Runner Sports, Tri-City Medical Center and Visit Oceanside supported the event this year and we were able to recognize 32 trotters who have participated all 15 years!! Our teams competition was terrific, with over 90 teams registered. Our top teams this year were The Unstoppable 2020 trotters, El Camino Cross Country/Tierra’s Trails, Calvin Christian School, Magnificent Wilkey’s and Oceanside Multi-Sport Group. As they say, ‘Teamwork makes the Dreamwork’. Of course, we had great weather after 2 years of rain.
We are looking forward to sunshine and smiles in 2021!
