Orange County, CA (1888PressRelease) August 28, 2012 - The Dana Point Turkey Trot is pleased to announce a military discount program in partnership with GovX.com for the 35th annual Thanksgiving Day race. Through GovX.com, all current and former U.S. Armed Forces personnel will receive a 50 percent discount on the 2012 race registration fee. Joining forces with GovX.com, the first and only controlled-access, online shopping site that offers substantial deals (25-45 percent below retail - every day) on premium lifestyle products, as well as on-duty tactical gear, exclusively to military personnel, allows for hassle-free verification of military status.

To take advantage of the exclusive registration discounts for the Dana Point Turkey Trot, military personnel can simply join GovX.com for free. Once verified through the GovX verification system, members receive a unique promotional code to use during checkout on the Dana Point Turkey Trot website. The verification process ensures only qualified military receive the privileged discount, not the general public.

"This year, the Dana Point Turkey Trot wanted to extend a special welcome and discount to our Armed Forces and show our appreciation for all they do," said Heather Johnston, executive director, Dana Point Chamber of Commerce. "We are so pleased to be partnering with GovX.com, to make it easy for those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces to qualify for the 50 percent discount. GovX already offers the best discounts on the best products for military and government personnel and we are proud to call them a Turkey Trot partner."

The partnership furthers the Dana Point Turkey Trot's commitment to supporting the military. Last year, the Dana Point Turkey Trot donated $25,000 to the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group, an organization dedicated to supporting those who protect and serve, and their families. This year, the Dana Point Turkey Trot will once again fundraise for the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group. GovX.com is built on the same foundation, recognizing and offering substantial discounts on premiere lifestyle products only to this deserving population and donating a portion of its proceeds to partnering military associations and foundations.
