Before you dig into piping hot turkey and mashed potatoes this Thanksgiving, get your run on with one of these Turkey Trots.
Usually held on Thanksgiving morning, these running events have grown in popularity in recent years to the point where they have become as traditional as the bird itself.
The average Thanksgiving meal will cost you anywhere between 2,500 and 4,500 calories — which means that you need to run a marathon to burn it all off! No turkey trot marathons exist yet, but you can ease your healthy conscience with a few miles as you kick off the holiday with this list of local fun runs for you and your family.
