The annual Thanksgiving morning race includes a 5k, 10k, walk, and grade school mile. You can register online -- it's currently $30 for the 5k and 10k (price increases after October 20). The walk and grade school mile are $10 (prices also increase after October 20).
There's also a training program get people ramped up for running either the 5k or 10k. It's already started, but you can still sign up through October 1. It's $40.
This will be the 71st running of the Troy Turkey Trot. The first race was all the way back in 1916 and it's said to be the 12th oldest road race in the nation. Last year's race had more than 7,000 participants.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.

I love 5K season aka Fall in Upstate NY - there are some great causes which use 5Ks as fundraisers.
