The annual Thanksgiving morning race includes a 5k, 10k, walk, and grade school mile. You can register online -- and early bird registration for the first 500 people is $20. (In the past, registration prices for the 5k and 10k have been $30.)

The Troy Turkey Trot is now in its 70th year. It's said be the 12th oldest road race in the nation. Last year 7,210 people took part.
