For Robert, the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot is a family tradition worth keeping. After four to five years of joining us on Thanksgiving morning, he’s training for this year’s 10K and looking forward to another holiday that starts with movement, family, and community.

It’s his way of staying active through the holidays and kicking off Thanksgiving feeling good before gathering around the table.
