Ankeny, IA
This is a Thanksgiving morning race in Ankeny, with a course distance that keeps things accessible for most runners and walkers out for a holiday outing. The surroundings and terrain are not detailed in what was shared, but the event fits squarely into the tradition of burning calories before the feast.
Donuts are waiting at the finish line, which is about as fitting a post-race spread as a Turkey Trot can offer.
