Wherever you are in northern Michigan Thanksgiving morning, there’s bound to be a turkey trot close by! If you’ll be in Traverse City, work up your appetite before the big meal at the 14th Annual Up North Media TC Turkey Trot. It begins at 123 E. Eleventh St. at 8:45am. Choose from the 5K Run/Walk or 5 Mile Flier. To register, search Traverse City Turkey Trot at runsignup.com. Plan to be somewhere else Up North?
