Trending this Thanksgiving…#TurkeyTrots
Many Americans have decided that Thanksgiving is more than just about being thankful and eating lots of turkey. It has become a day to get moving. As we previously outlined in another posting here, there are plenty of local footraces coming your way this fall. Several of them are happening next Thursday. Whether you do it to justify eating an extra slice of pie or to spend time with family, it is a growing trend.
One local race that we discovered after the previous posting is happening in Festus at the Y. It is open to non-members as well as members, and the registration fee is just $15-20. Click on the graphic below to go to the website, or get the registration form here.
