Thanksgiving is just a few days away and many of you are excited for this kick off to the holiday season! As Chicago Real Estate agents and property advisors here at Shoreline Property Advisors, we enjoy this time of year at it seems to draw the Chicago community closer together as friends, families and neighbors celebrate the season.
As we all know, Thanksgiving is a day to reflect on all that we’re thankful for while feasting on delicious food. But, there’s another tradition that you can adopt as a way to get some exercise and give back to the community on Thanksgiving! Whether you already live in Chicago or you’re visiting friends and family for the holiday, you may want to consider taking part in The Chicago Turkey Day 5K!

The Chicago Turkey Day 5K will be taking place on Thanksgiving Day, November 22 beginning at 9am and everyone is encouraged to get involved. This 5K Run/Walk is in its’ 35th year and will be taking place in beautiful Lincoln Park. With over 5,000 people attending, you’re sure to bump into neighbors and will enjoy this sense of community and interaction.
This race will also be supporting local community organization the Greater Chicago Food Depository! Bring canned goods to the race and the GCFD will distribute them to those in need. You can also include a monetary donation when you register to give back even more! In years past, over 10,000 pounds of food were donated and the goal is to exceed that number. Whether you’re participating in the event or are cheering friends and family on, be sure to bring a few canned goods to donate!
Not only is The Chicago Turkey Day 5K giving back to the community, it also is awarding some great prizes to its winners. Prizes will be awarded to the top three men and women in each age group and winners will be announced after the race. Raffles, treats and much more will enhance the spirit of this event, so be sure to register today! Children can get involved in the Plymouth Rock Ramble where prizes will be awarded as well! For more information regarding location and registration, check out the Chicago Turkey Day 5K website.
Even if you’re don’t want to run in the race, you can still be involved by cheering on others and donating to a great cause! It’s events like these that remind us how great it is to call Chicago “home!”
