INLAND EMPIRE, CA — Run your feet before you eat. Or wobble before you gobble. However you phrase it, Thanksgiving "turkey trots" are back in 2021 throughout Riverside and San Bernardino counties and nearby. Most are linked with local charities, including schools, sports teams, food banks and parks. And several offer kid-friendly runs for the little ones, with costumes encouraged. Do note: Not all races take place on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 25. Some occur on weekends before and after. And always confirm with organizers that the events are occurring as planned when posted. Peruse our annual Patch Turkey Trot guide, and find an event near you. Support your local non-profits, earn yourself second helpings (or, let's be honest, thirds) or an extra slice of pumpkin pie, and Happy Thanksgiving, from Patch! ------------ BIG BEAR LAKE: NOV. 25: Big Bear Turkey Trot.
