Putting the Fast in Feast: The Thanksgiving Day Mile

Runners came out in festive fashion (turkeys and lederhosen galore!) and were cheered on down the entire route by the crowds lining the streets. And while the highlight of today’s main course might be the turkey, the highlight of this course is that delicious net downhill. Feast your eyes on these fast times:
