Gourt Home::Gourt :: Turkey Trot
A Turkey Trot is an American Thanksgiving tradition. A turkey trot is a fun run or race that is held on or around Thanksgiving Day. All across the United States, Americans anticipate indulgent Thanksgiving feasts and run in turkey trots to burn off calories before the big meal. However, it is unlikely that most will expend more calories than they consume during a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
In many parts of the United States, Turkey Trots are associated with Thanksgiving tradition as much as the meal itself. Some courses may be just one mile in distance, while others may be full marathons, as is the Atlanta Marathon, which is held on Thankgiving Day. Turkey trots range in size from just a few dozen runners to tens of thousands.
