MOLINE, IL - - Western Illinois University-Quad Cities Student Services will host a Turkey Trot Virtual 5K Run from Saturday, Nov. 12-Saturday, Nov. 19. Participants will lace up and hit the road, trail or treadmill for this fun, turkey-burning wellness event.

"As the graduate assistant for the Fitness Center, I am very excited to host this Fall Virtual 5k. I think this is an excellent opportunity to promote some physical activity and give us a mental break before the end of the semester starts to hit," said student activities graduate assistant Blake Haas. "I hope many of you enjoy the run or walk in the lovely fall weather or on one of the treadmills here in 2402 [on the WIU-QC campus]. I wish the best of luck to everyone who participates."

To participate in the event, participants can record distance and time on any app; screenshot the run; and email it to bc-haas@wiu.edu. All results will be recorded and prizes will be provided to every participant.

For more information on the event, contact Haas at bc-haas@wiu.edu.
