Turkey Trot Tradition

According to the American Council on Exercise, about 3,000 calories are consumed during the typical Thanksgiving meal! Grazing over pre-Thanksgiving meal snacks can bring that total between 4,500-6000 calories! Add in physical activity before the festivities begin and you might not feel as guilty when you indulge in your traditional Thanksgiving snacks and meal! Don’t forget to give thanks to your health and others!

Below are area Thanksgiving running/walking events. Make a Turkey Trot a family tradition!
