About the Clarendon Hills Unofficial Turkey Trot
The race starts at Prospect Park, at the northwest corner near Oxford Avenue. There are a couple of distance options, so families tend to run together at whatever pace works. This is a Thanksgiving morning race, and the crowd reflects that: neighbors, kids, people who do not usually pin on a bib showing up anyway.
Bring a pantry item if you can. The race doubles as a food drive benefiting a pair of local hunger relief organizations, so the trunk of your car is as useful as your running shoes that morning.
