About the Wash U vs. Cancer Turkey Trot

This is a Thanksgiving-season run put on by a student organization at a university, with the fundraising going to the American Cancer Society. The turkey theme carries through the event, so expect a crowd that leans more toward the charitable-giving spirit of the holiday than a hard race effort.
