About the Turkey Trot to STOP Human Trafficking
This Thanksgiving morning race starts at Heritage House on East Park Street in Chardon. The cause behind it is central to the event: the race exists to raise awareness about human trafficking, so the crowd tends to bring that purpose with them. It runs on a holiday, which gives the whole morning a particular kind of quiet.
