Millions of Americans are expected to participate in turkey trots on Thanksgiving Day, with over 900 races registered or timed by RunSignup. While some races will enjoy perfect running conditions, others will be affected by snow and bitter cold temperatures. Snow showers are expected in the Great Lakes region and parts of Michigan, while an arctic outbreak is predicted to sweep over the Central U.S. with temperatures more than 20 degrees below normal. In cities like Marquette and Denver, runners will have to endure sub-freezing temperatures and strong winds during their turkey trot races.
In the Northeast, runners can expect cold rain during their races. Events like the Face to Face Turkey Trot in Philadelphia and the Arlington Turkey Trot in Virginia, where thousands are expected to participate, will have rain and temperatures in the 40s. Despite the challenging weather conditions, dedicated trotters are gearing up to run or walk in these iconic races ahead of their Thanksgiving feasts.
