About the Turkey Trot
This Thanksgiving morning race follows a course near a sand volleyball court on what appears to be a campus. The morning runs cold in Quincy at that time of year, and the organizers plan accordingly. Proceeds go toward student resources and Thanksgiving meals for local school families in need.
Check-in opens before the race start, so arriving early is worth it. Warm drinks and snacks are set out before the gun, which helps when the air is that cold. The cause is local and specific, and the start-area setup reflects that.
