Throughout the year there are various months and holidays which there's an increase in the number of road races.
November is a hot month with many towns and small communities putting on local 5K's or 10K's typically called Turkey Trots.
For a number of years I have participated in two during this time. Usually the Sunday before Thanksgiving is my hometown's, Turkey Trot 5K Walk/Run Tinley Park, and one on Thanksgiving Day in Palos Heights which is near Tinley Park put on by Running For Kicks, a running shoe and apparel store.
Both these races have grown tremendously since I first began running in them 8 years age. There were over a thousand participants this past year in both!
I took 3rd overall in Tinley's Turkey Trot and won the Turkey Trot in Palos! Attached are links to this year's past Turkey Trots.
I strongly encourage you to give one of them a shot, or find a Turkey Trot near where you live. You will make new friends while working out at the same time!
