For millions, Thanksgiving is a day to get together with family and friends and do lots of fun things – eat some great food, watch football, pass out from the turkey coma.

If you’re a runner or walker, you don’t have to wait until later in the day to gather with anybody. First thing in the morning, you can run or walk side by side with dozens of others – or in front of others if you’re fast enough – while helping the Stafford Township DARE program and community policing efforts.
