For nearly 128 years Turkey Trots have helped build the hearty appetites required by average Americans to consume 3,000-4,500 calories at their Thanksgiving tables. Turkey Trots and other Thanksgiving-themed races are now national holiday staples. It all started in 1896 when the YMCA held the first Buffalo Turkey Trot in Buffalo NY. Running on 5 miles of dirt roads, the winning time went to a Henry A. Allison who finished first place in that inaugural year in 31 minutes and 12 seconds.
