FOOD DRIVE NOV + Annual Turkey Day Run o' Fun (Trail run in Forest Park)

**Run info below, but FIRST:**
**Join us for FOOD DRIVE NOVEMBER:** This November, Northwest Trail Runners is hosting a Food Drive to support the Sunshine Division and help fight food insecurity in our community.
Throughout the month, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations at our Tuesday and Saturday runs. Look for the donation barrel (provided by the Sunshine Division) at each run — every item makes a difference!
Requested items include:

* Canned meats
* Peanut butter
* Boxed dinners
* Canned vegetables & fruits
* Canned beans
* Pasta sauce

Monetary donations are also welcome — checks can be made payable to *Sunshine Division*.
Let’s come together on the trails and offer to lend a hand to neighbors in need. Learn more about the Sunshine Division’s impact at [sunshinedivision.org](https://sunshinedivision.org/)
Have questions? Reach out to any organizer!

Hello Northwest Trail Runners!

What better way to start a day of giving thanks and (over)eating than with a run in great company?!

Let's meet at Leif Erickson trailhead (end of Thurman Street) and do a 5 mile route while giving thanks for our wonderful trails and our amazing running community :).

Route:
• Left at Alder

We'll then head to [St. Honoré Bakery](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6qMKmmx3F7f3vTadA) (2335 NW Thurman St, Portland) to get a headstart on holiday eating :P.
