What better way to jump-start the holiday season by getting together with some other Animals to chase some turkeys around some beautiful trails? The folks at Wright-Locke Farm couldn’t think of anything better, so we’ve decided to host the TARC Turkey Trot or better yet – TARCkey Trot, at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester, MA and Whipple Hill in Lexington, MA on Saturday, November 18 beginning at 7 am. The course will start at Wright-Locke, but will mostly wind its way through the remarkable single track of Whipple Hill, a 120-acre conservation area featuring the highest point in historic Lexington. The course is 5k, but don’t expect a PR (if you’re used to running on roads!). This is a great chance to stretch the legs and burn some calories before beginning to hibernate after that big dinner just a few days later! You’ll have the option to run it once, or as many times as you care to over 6 hours.

More details are available online (including a finalized course map/distance), but rest assured – you’ll be ready for Thanksgiving after finishing this one. Complete details at www.wlfarm.org
