What is a Turkey Trot? Well, my definition is a race around Thanksgiving where the atmosphere is more about fun that finishing time. Most Turkey Trots also offer walking events and shorter distances for kids, so the whole family can join the fun. Of course, each Turkey Trot has their own variation with some going off road in a cross country style, others are more traditional road running and many races give out homemade pumpkins pies instead of medals. (my favorite!)

This year, start a new tradition before your Thanksgiving feast. Go Turkey Trotting!
