The Turkey Trot is not your average run.  Our goal is to make the run an EXPERIENCE.  We want to raise the level of organization, volunteer involvement, accurate and timely information, quality garment and food, and raise the level of excitement!

As an example, post race food is not just bananas, water and oranges like most other races; we have gourmet food hand pick by renowned author and chef Steven Wong from the food stalls of Granville Island itself!

Stephen works through Sunday night in preparation to dazzle you through site, smell, and taste!  Here is Stephen’s bio:

Throughout the years, as a food and wine journalist, Stephen Wong has contributed to numerous publications including The Northwest Palate, Northwest Best Places, Vancouver Magazine, CityFood, Canadian Living, The Vancouver Sun, Metropolitan Home, and Georgia Straight. His recipes and photo food-styling work are featured in cookbooks such as Pacific Northwest - The Beautiful Cookbook, Pacific Northwest Flavours, Wine & Dine British Columbia, and Entrée To Asia. He was also a regular columnist for MyBC.com, IFOODVancouver.com and The Province, and the author of HeartSmart Chinese Cooking (Douglas & McIntyre), and co-author of New World Noodles, New World Chinese Cooking (Robert Rose Inc.), and Chefs In The Market (Raincoast).

Wong worked and held key management positions in some of the best award-winning dining establishments in Vancouver and elsewhere in the province such as Le Gavroche, Sooke Harbour House and Raintree.

Bon Appetit!
