7 thanksgiving day turkey trots around d. C.


Play all audios:

The only thing better than running a race on Thanksgiving morning? Getting to be that person at the Thanksgiving table that incessantly talks about the race they ran that morning.


WHAT'S HAPPENING: There are plenty of D.C.-area turkey trots to get your steps in before the big meal. BE SMART: Be sure to sign up before Turkey Day — some races close registration or


raise fees before the actual event. AMERICA'S TROT FOR HUNGER * Head to D.C.'s Freedom Plaza for either a 5K or one-miler benefiting So Others Might Eat. Registration is $65 for


the 5K and $35 for the one-miler. There are virtual options, too. ALEXANDRIA TURKEY TROT * This five-miler takes you through the streets of Del Ray. It's between $12.50 and $27.50 to

$25 for kids. CAPITOL VIEW PARK CHARITY TURKEY TROT * Run a 5K through Silver Spring's Capitol View Park neighborhood. Kids under 10 run free; it's $25 for anyone older to register
