Turkeys have gone wild! Somehow they must have heard about Thanksgiving and organized a prison break. As every prison drama film buff knows the weakest spot in any chain of custody is transportation and this is no exception. In the great Turkey Train derailment 10,000 feathery inmates broke free and must now be apprehended. Lucky for them Bees have a heart. We may catch those who escaped because, let's face it, we don't want the world to be overrun by Turkeys, the widespread prevalence of Turkey droppings alone is enough to disturb the delicate balance of power of most cityscapes and then there is the fact that Turkeys are notorious rule breakers and disruptors of peace.

So, no, we won't stand for it. But, we won't be heartless either. Understanding the Turkeys' plight we shall release all those we catch to the TURSEC (The definition of which as provided by Turkeypedia is: "Turkey Security Program, known by the acronym TURSEC, which provides Turkeys and their families with protective services to ensure their health, safety, and security."

The thing is Turkeys are hard to catch! They pivot on a dime. They move really fast and once they're moving their trajectory is unpredictable which makes it extremely difficult to follow. Were not for the feathers, the droppings and the fact that their upkeep all-year-round ain't cheap, we're confident they'd be the world's top fitness aid. Those chasing them require speed, agility and endurance plus a little bit of luck which is why we've given you three separate means to help round up all 10,000 of these feathery fitness aids. All you now have to do is take a deep breath, roll up your sleeves and dive into this year's Turkey Run!


Total Number of Turkeys we had to catch: 10,000
Turkeys left to catch: 0

"2024: Go for the annual challenge (366 days) > DAY 330!! 36 days left. New PB and rising."
Hi Darebees, hi @neilarey

Sorry if I find out (a few days before the end of the event) that 10,000 turkeys must be captured before 0:00 on Friday 11/29 (the day that ends Thanksgiving Day, Thursday 11/28).

Just on Thursday the 14th, when the turkey challenge started, I was in Internal Medicine. I got bad news, which not many athletes want to share, so as not to alarm people and demotivate them (apart from seeing how the challenge you set for yourself, you stop it in its tracks).

However, despite that high CPK that was detected in my last blood test, I have not stopped everything I have done since January 1st. I am establishing a new personal record, to bequeath to my future generations, and manage to lose type 1 obesity, if that means (in this case) lowering the intensity of my workouts and complying with the breaks in the training plan (Gladiator) that I personally chose.

But let's get to the topic that interests me (turkeys). I'll give you a hand, with the first option. The second and the third... "until further orders (Shhhhhhh... :devil:)".
