Thanksgiving is here, and we’re sending love to you and your families—along with a feast full of goodness! While we covered World Athletics' initiatives for Track and Field in our last edition, we’re keeping the celebration of the sport going this season. Here’s a fun tidbit: did you know that lacing up your shoes for a run is as much a Thanksgiving tradition as stuffing a turkey? Well, yes!

Today we’re sharing some of the most memorable Thanksgiving race moments, highlighting how the spirit of giving took center stage with young athletes doing their part on T-day. We’ll also explore how Track and Field has become a part of Thanksgiving traditions over the years, with everyone embracing the holiday run.

So let’s dive in!
