Sorry for the blast here. For those of you running the Turkey Beach Trot on Thanksgiving Day at Ocean beach, note that the race is being moved to Golden Gate Park. See info from the race website below:
--SAN FRANCISCO BAY OIL SPILL ALERT!--
Tuesday, November 14, 2007 11:48AM The TURKEY has been in communication with the National Park Service and the SF Department of Parks & Recreation. Following is an update on the effect of the Oil Spill on the race. For those of you unaware of the SF Bay oil spill, please click here.
The GREAT NEWS: The TURKEY Beach Trot will be held on Thanksgiving morning. However, some necessary changes are being made to this year's race.
NEW LOCATION & COURSE
The National Park Service at this late date cannot guarantee that Ocean Beach will continue to stay open to the public. On Tuesday morning, November 13th, the NPS informed THE TURKEY that it is currently discussing closure of the beach due to the oil spill. Therefore, we will not gamble on the possibility that Ocean Beach will be open on Thanksgiving Day for the race and have come up with an alternative location for the race. The 2007 TURKEY Beach Trot is now officially the 2007 TURKEY PARK Trot. The TURKEY met with the SF Department of Parks & Recreation this morning to obtain the proper permit and to discuss the new course. When these details are finalized, we will email all participants and post this information to the website ASAP. Details will be available by Friday, November 16th at the latest.
NEW LOCATION: The new start/finish will be in Golden Gate Park, in the area of the deYoung Museum and the Academy of Sciences. We are finalizng the course logistics with the SF Department of Parks & Recreation and will update the information here ASAP.
REVISED DISTANCE: The new run & walk course will be a 5K route, taking trotters through the lush greens of Golden Gate Park. Squanto could not have come up with a better course. If you have registered or are registering for the race, you will receive numerous email updates over the next week. Please be patient with us as we wish to ensure all information is available to all participants- -no matter how frequently the message is communicated. If you have friends & family also participating, please ensure you relay the information to them as well.
Thank you.
