Be proactive. Burn those Thanksgiving calories off BEFORE the big meal!

Talk about planning ahead! You can participate in a four mile run on Thanksgiving morning, and then eat EVEN MORE on Thanksgiving afternoon/evening! Plus -- this event features a pumpkin pie station along the course -- who wants water along the course when you could have pumpkin pie!
Some details from VA Momentum....
This year my kiddos will be participating in the Kids Dash -- and maybe next year I'll talk them into the longer run.The Rocktown Turkey Trot is the perfect mix of fun and fitness on Thanksgiving morning (Thursday, November 26, 2015). The four mile course is designed with all skill levels in mind - and it's ideal for first-timers and veteran runners alike. The Turkey Trot is a professionally timed event (you'll receive a race bib and chip timing device at packet pickup), but don't let that deter you from coming dressed in your favorite Thanksgiving-themed running gear!
The Gobble Gobble Kids Dash is the newest can't-miss tradition for kids on Thanksgiving. They'll be energized by the roar of the crowd and feel the freedom of wind in their face as they run through the closed-down streets of Court Square in Harrisonburg. Kids Dash participants will finish prior to the start of the Rocktown Turkey Trot. Learn more.
