New York City Turkey Trot

Want to run off the damage the day after Thanksgiving dinner? This 15K run or 5K walk on Roosevelt Island offers beautiful views of Manhattan and sweet cinnamon rolls at the finish line. A kids’ dash is also available for young trotters, and walking adults can push strollers. Good news for Queens-bound folks: You can do a 5K turkey trot on Thanksgiving Day in preparation for all that pumpkin pie.
