For millions, Thanksgiving is a day to gather with family or friends and eat some great food, maybe watch a little football and take a short nap induced by the old turkey coma. But 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.
