Before you tackle that big Thanksgiving dinner, get out of bed early and take in one of the many Turkey Trots happening around North Texas. Besides getting ahead of the calories from turkey dinner with all of the trimmings, you can also feel good about your effort because the runs benefit local charities.

Remember to check the websites or social media for each event for any last-minute changes.
