A new program with Jefferson Parks and Recreation encourages people to get a workout in before they enjoy their Thanksgiving Day meal.

The Pre-Turkey “Gains” is a 24 obstacle course inside the Greene County Community Center and it will be a “go at your own pace” type of race. The goal is to work up a sweat before taking the rest of the day to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday.

This is an adult only activity with a free-will donation to purchase new equipment for the community center. Participants are also encouraged to list what equipment they would like to have at the community center. The Pre-Turkey “Gains” takes place on Thanksgiving Day starting at 7am. Registration is required as space is limited. Contact the community center at 515-386-3412 to sign up.
