About the Houston Turkey Dash
A Thanksgiving morning race in Houston with several distance options, from a half marathon down to a short family-friendly run. The course is described as scenic, though the terrain and route specifics depend on which distance you choose. The event benefits The HRC Foundation, so the entry fee goes toward something beyond the race itself.
