HOPING IT STAYS THIS WAY DURING THIS THANKSGIVING MORNING, BACK TO YOU, JIM. >> DRIVE SAFELY OUT THERE. THERE'S A WAY OF OFFSET THE GUILD FATTENING ITSELF UP THE TURKEY STUFFING AND MASHED POTATOES, YOU CAN JOIN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, RUNNING A TURKEY TROT THROUGHOUT THE BAY AREA THIS MORNING. THE LARGEST IS IN DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE, THAT'S WHERE WE FIND BOB RIDDELL. BOB, TOO LATE TO REGISTER FOR THIS OR CAN PEOPLE STILL JOIN? >> FROM WHAT I SEE IN THE LINE, YOU CAN STILL REGISTER. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU, SCOTT AND KYRA. THE SILICON VALLEY TURKEY TROT IS TAKING REGISTRATIONS INTO NINE A.M., WHICH IS ACTUALLY 30 MINUTES AFTER START TIME, IT STARTS AT 8:30 A.M. HERE, IN DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE, AND SANTA CLARA. FROM WHAT I SAW ONLINE, YOU CAN STILL REGISTER. THEY ARE NOT QUITE YET SOLD OUT, IT SEEMS TO BE APPROACHING THAT. SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP WHICH STARTED THIS RACE 19 YEARS AGO WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THOUSANDS OF RUNNERS, IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, THEY ARE EXPECTING CLOSE TO 20,000 RUNNERS THIS YEAR, MAKING THIS ONE OF THE LARGEST TURKEY TROT IN THE COUNTRY. OVER THE YEARS, THE RACE HAS RAISED OVER $11 MILLION FOR CHARITY, COLLECTED OVER 250,000 POUNDS OF FOOD. THIS YEAR'S EVENT WILL HELP HEALTH TRUST, THE HEALTHIER KIDS FOUNDATION AND SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK. THE LEADERSHIP GROUP CEO POINTS OUT EVEN THOUGH SILICON VALLEY EMBODIES SUCCESS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN NEED IN OUR AREA, THIS EVENT IS ABOUT COMMUNITY AND GIVING BACK. >> WHAT I THINK IS SO SPECIAL RIGHT NOW, IS THAT WE HAVE COME THROUGH COVID, THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TOGETHER, TO BE IN COMMUNITY, TO GET OUT THERE, BRING YOUR FAMILY, I THINK THAT HAS TAKEN ON A NEW MEANING THESE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I THINK THAT COMMUNITY SPIRIT IS WHAT IS MOST SPECIAL ABOUT THIS EVENT. ALSO, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP, OUR LEADERS, CEOS, COMPANIES IN SILICON VALLEY GIVING BACK. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CONCRETE WAYS THAT WE COME OUT FOR COMMUNITY, AND SUPPORT THOSE MOST IN NEED. >> NOW, THE SILICON VALLEY TURKEY TROT HAS A FIVE K, A TEN K AND A KIDS FUN RUN, SOMEONE DIDN'T TELL MY DAUGHTERS, THE KIDS FIND RUN IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. THIS IS HER, BACK IN 2012. SHE WAS NINE YEARS OLD, IN TEARS, BECAUSE SHE EXHAUSTED HERSELF TO ONLY TAKE SECOND PLACE. AGAIN, IT WAS ENOUGH, IT IS HER, SHE IS STILL COMPETITIVE TO THIS DAY. THE SILICON VALLEY TURKEY TROT IS NOT THE ONLY TURKEY TROT IN THE AREA THIS MORNING. THERE IS ONE IN VENETIA AT 7:30 A.M., CONCORD, NOVATO, SAINT -- WINE COUNTRY, SAN FRANCISCO, THEY HAVE THEIRS AT 8 AM AND OF COURSE, OAKLAND AT 8:30 A.M.. AND THEN THE ONE BEHIND ME HERE, DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE, ALSO IT 30. REPORTING LIVE IN DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE, BOB RIDDELL, TODAY IN THE BAY. >> YOUR POOR DAUGHTER, BEING PUBLICLY SHAMED! AT NINE YEARS OLD! >> THAT IS SO HARD AS A PARENT, RIGHT, BOB? >> IT IS PAYBACK. >> YES IT IS. SECOND PLACE IS GREAT. SO I CAN GET A BE, NOT AN A? NO, THAT IS NOT
