Supporting the Greater
Vancouver Food Bank
We are very proud to say the 2009 Granville Island Turkey Trot
helped to raise about $13,000 cash for the Greater Vancouver
Food Bank. This means the Food Bank can triple that money in
buying power to help families who are struggling to make ends
meet. The Food Bank also collected about 15 boxes of food. Thank
you for all your support!
We wanted to share what racers
are saying about the 2009 Granville Island Turkey Trot.
"The route is always beautiful as the downtown skyline is
always changing."
"It was a fantastic event!! Thank you so much for the FREE bike
valet and bag check. Amazing!"
"The course volunteers were amazing. Friendly and fun!!"
"Wow. I guess I was pretty happy with everything. I've done lots
of runs in the past and I was truly impressed with the shirt and
the food and the route. I would recommend this run to anyone and
everyone."
