Join us for the 4th Annual JPJ Memorial 1-mile Turkey Trot!
The JPJ Memorial Turkey Trot is a timed 1-mile run/walk Thanksgiving morning through Moncus Park in memory of JeanPaul Judice. Our mission is to continue to spread JeanPaul’s unconditional love and desire to help those in need. We are happy to team up Catholic Charities of Acadiana to raise money for St. Joseph Diner. Since 1983, St. Joseph Diner has served meals to those experiencing hunger and food insecurity.
This race is the perfect setting to come together on Thanksgiving to show gratitude with your community. Bring your family and friends together for a traditional run/walk/trot/waddle before taking on your Thanksgiving Feast! We welcome all stages of runners and walkers. This race will be timed and prizes will be awarded to the top three males and females. Top three male and females will receive a custom Turkey cookie medal made by Bouki's Baker.
* Strollers are welcome. Please start at the back of the pack to ensure the safety of all runners.
About Jean Paul..
JeanPaul lived the road less traveled. This included his love for the many things that go unappreciated in today's world, from noticing the daily beauty of sunrises and sunsets with his brothers to anticipating the extraordinary gifts of each new day. JeanPaul chose to live a life where love and happiness filled his heart, and anyone that ever met him would be impacted with a compassionate ear and positive kind words. He was passionate about changing our world, both physically and spiritually. He believed that his message of loving our world began with family and friends; but, he hoped that by spreading a message of unconditional love among his closest relationships, change would be rippled across the universe starting from a place deep in his heart. In our superficial world, he was a young man of immense substance. He knew that every person mattered and he loved them unconditionally.
