to any and all photos, recordings, or any other record for this event for
any legitimate purpose.
Training
The 5K Turkey Trot is a fun run, however, if running competitively we want to make sure that each individual is properly trained. Be sure to run or walk for at least 20-30 minutes three times a week. If you are a beginner, you do not have to focus on your speed, focus on pacing yourself and finding your rhythm. For additional information view the added links.
Hydration
Hawaii is a nice, tropical location, but be sure that you still hydrate when preparing for a run. Approximately a gallon a day should keep you well hydrated for the run. Hydrating days before a run is best as well to prevent cramps and the possibility of dehydrating.
Get Ready!
