Americans love to run. And I don't just mean through Wal-Mart aisles on Black Friday. Running for exercise has soared in popularity over the past few decades. According to Running USA, 4.7 million people finished events in 1990, compared to 15.5 million In 2012! Great news for the sporting goods industry and your cardiologist.
Kids love to run, and moms love to burn calories. So how about starting your Thanksgiving Day with some family exercise in the crisp, fall air? The average American will eat 4,500 calories on this day, so you'll feel better indulging in your favorite holiday treats.
Here are some suggestions for events on Thursday, November 28. Races are popular, so be sure to sign up soon before they sell out. You'll also want to arrive early, as parking in most places will be limited. Have a great run! And for more turkey trot listings as well as other fun things to do on Thanksgiving day click here.
