CAPITAL AREA, NY (NEWS10) – A fun meme shared this time of year reads, “One of my biggest fears is getting married into a family that runs 5,000 miles over the holidays .”
Whether you’re a family running or prefer a slower walk before sitting down to your Thanksgiving turkey dinner, the Capital Region offers plenty of both on Thursday mornings.
Check the links for times, distances and registration information. Some have costume contests for participants and pets! Attention: not all races offer the day of registration.
