Sport Chalet Prepares Runners And Walkers For This Year's Turkey Trots

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanksgiving is around the corner and many people will gather with family and friends to eat, give thanks and participate in festive activities, such as the neighborhood turkey trots happening across the country. To help prepare for the pre-feast runs and walks, premier specialty sporting goods retailer Sport Chalet offers the essentials for a fun and enjoyable trot.

"Thanksgiving is the best time of the year to celebrate family traditions and enjoy good company, whether it be around the table or outside for fall activities," said Sport Chalet Expert Paul Smedley. "To help turkey trotters make the most of their holiday, Sport Chalet offers a number of products that will prepare joggers and walkers for the holiday race."

Smedley provides the following gear suggestions to get the most out of local trots:

• Stay fueled: Even though the temperatures may be cooler, athletes still need to stay properly hydrated. The Nathan SpeedDraw Plus Insulated Water Bottle will do the trick with its lightweight and ergonomically shaped designed that helps keep runners and walkers going from start to finish.
• Bump the tunes: For those who need a little extra motivation on a run, the Nathan Super 5K Carrier for iPhone/Samsung is the perfect solution. With moisture-wicking fabric and a universal armband, it's a convenient way to kick up the intensity for a more difficult trot.
• Bring the essentials: Don't leave the keys, wallet or most importantly, the camera at home because there's a high chance the kids will do something photo-worthy. The Nathan Phantom Pak Running Belt is lightweight, weather resistant and designed specifically to keep valuables safe.
• Get some support: Whether it's a casual walk or a marathon trot, support is what keeps the body moving towards the finish line. Lightweight running shoes like the Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit are so comfortable they'll run right to the dinner table in no time.
• Dress for the occasion: To keep up with the cold temperatures, make sure to add some layers like a Columbia Women's Optic Got It II 1/2 Zip Fleece and The North Face Men's Kilowatt 1/4 Zip Jacket. The last thing Thanksgiving needs is a cold turkey.
