One of my most favorite events of the year is right around the corner!

There are some events that we're a part of that I life, then there are some events that I absolutely LOVE.

The Lifetime Turkey Day 5K is one of those events. I love seeing thousand of people getting up nice and early surrounded by their friends and family getting active before their mid morning nap!

Here are five reasons why you should register for the best Turkey Day run in Idaho!

    Family Bonding

    There's nothing better than going out with the ENTIRE family to get fit and active before a long day of eating, and eating, and eating.

    Every year, I talk to so many people who say this is event is an annual tradition to get their day going.
