2024 Turkey Trot Rundown
| Ah, it’s that time of year when all of us runners drag our non-runner friends and family out the door on a crisp Thanksgiving morning for the beloved Turkey Trot. Whether you’re doing yours on your own (we love a homegrown, neighborhood trot!), are trotting out of town in a new city (look at you supporting other running communities!) or participate in one of the *many* local races, we wish you a wonderful day of family, friends, food and RUNNING! Below is a roundup and review of our local Turkey Trots. (Friends, if it’s not on the list, it’s not a locally owned and organized event. That’s all we need to say about that.) Check out your options for Thursday and happy trotting!! |
