Over 450 walkers, joggers or runners particpate in Turkey Trot

On behalf of the Cheney High School cross country program, we would like to thank the community of Cheney for their support of our 7th annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. There were over 450 walkers, joggers or runners present for this community event that benefits not only the Cheney Food Bank, but also our cross country program at Cheney High School.  

We would like to especially thank Safeway, and Cheney Trading Company for turkeys/food donated as door prizes for this event, as well as Jim Missel and Stan Kerr who gave us numerous Blackhawk/EWU items to share. A special thank you to our other sponsors:  McDonald’s, Cheney Federal Credit Union, Zentropa, Cheney Realty, Copy Junction, “Jackie Scholz State Farm,“ Owl Pharmacy, Fellowship Baptist Church, Rosa’s Pizza, ParaSport, Hilton Realty, Snap Fitness, Heather’s Canine Cuts, Domino’s Pizza, Willow Spring Station, Eagle’s Pub, Cheney Free Press and Stadium Sports for their continued support.  

Thank you again to the numerous volunteers who helped us with registration and setup of the course that morning and to the Cheney Fire Department who send us off with the siren to officially begin the race. We are thankful for our wonderful community who make this event so special and successful. We are already looking forward to next year with new ideas for helping us grow to be bigger and better.
