Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away, which means delicious food and family time–and racing! Turkey trots and Thanksgiving-themed runs take place all across Michigan, with some starting this weekend and many others happening on Thanksgiving morning.
Heather shares her family’s tradition of running their local turkey trot, the Traverse City Turkey Trot 5K (there’s also a 5-mile option), and is joined by northern Michigan runner and race director Michelle Elliott to talk about this year’s event that starts and ends at Thirlby Field. {Special Race Savings!

Also featured on this show: an upcoming pre-order holiday sale on MRG clothing AND save-the-date info on the 2nd annual Michigan Runner Girl Weekend taking place up north this coming spring.
