About the Turkey Trot
This Thanksgiving morning run is put on by the local high school cross country team. The entry fee is not money; you bring a pack of socks to donate to a local charity called Packs of Love. That arrangement sets the tone. It draws people who want to move on a holiday and do something useful at the same time.
