Here’s Why I Love The Turkey Day Run & Gobble Wobble Walk!

The Turkey Day Run is super fun, here are just a few things I love about it!

• This was my first road race, back in 2019!  I have been hooked ever since!
• What a great way to tour historic landmarks, the battery, and see tons of beautiful homes!
• The Turkey Day Run long-sleeved t-shirts are the BEST (I am wearing the 2015 T-shirt right now).
• The race is OVER 100 YEARS OLD!  FUN FACT!!
• Over 8,000 participants from 35 states, Canada and Mexico
• Walkers and runners allowed!
• Super laid back attitude… Crisp, cool weather!
• AND COSTUMES, DON’T LET ME FORGET TO TELL  YOU THAT PEOPLE RUN IN COSTUMES!!
• And finally, I eat guilt-free for the rest of the day!

If you are into this kind of thing, or maybe even if you have never tried it, I highly recommend this event as a great way to start your Thanksgiving Holiday!  Hope to see you next week!
