Running clubs all over New York City take to streets on Thanksgiving and the day after to run off those holiday calories, and often raise money for a good cause. This year, many of the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trots are taking place virtually. Instead of meeting in person at the same time on the same route, runners are given multiple days to complete the race on their own time and own individual route.

You can sign up for the Harlem Turkey Trot and complete one mile or a 5k by November 29th. The NYC Turkey Trot at Roosevelt Island is also going virtual. Download a run tracking app and get going!
