With cooler temperatures in the air, Turkey Trots and similar races are a popular way to work on your fitness levels, whether you're just starting out or are a serious runner. Many are held before, after, and even on Thanksgiving Day, so you'll be able to work off some of your calories from all the turkey, fixings, and desserts.
  
Lace up your running shoes and get ready for these races, recommended by our real estate agents and planned around Bowling Green during the holidays.

• Viking 1M, 5K, and 10K - November 16, 2024 - Weldon Park, Cleveland Avenue, Glasgow, KY 42141
