Turkey Day Runs While Thanksgiving is usually a day focused on eating, several metro nonprofits are offering families an active way to celebrate the season of gratitude. Virtual races have been all the rage in 2020 and the same is on trend for the metro’s Turkey Day 5ks. Here’s a roundup of some of the fun runs happening this November:
OKC Turkey Tracks is going virtual, and the annual race benefits Toys for Tots. Families can participate in a 1-mile fun run, a 5k or a distance of your choosing. Registrants get a zip jacket, pumpkin- pie-inspired medal and a navy blue beanie. $40. okcturkeytracks.com
Turkey Trot Run , benefiting the Oklahoma City Zoo, presented locally by Bob Moore Subaru. Run your own race, indoors or outdoors, at your own pace, then post your final time online by Nov. 26. Registrants get an official swag bag. All ages welcome. $45. okczoo.org/turkeytrot2020
Edmond’s Turkey Trot is also virtual and they have added a 10-mile bike ride option. Families are encouraged to participate at a socially-distant location of their choice as they run, walk or bike to benefit Turning Point Ministries, an organization that provides homeownership opportunities to moderate-income families. Preregister by Nov. 20. $20. edmondturkeytrot.com
