1. THE TURKEY TROT

火鸡跑

A turkey trot is a fun run or footrace, usually of the long-distance variety, that is held on or around Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Traditionally, turkey trots are held because Americans anticipate indulgent Thanksgiving feasts and run in turkey trots to burn off calories before the big meal.

火鸡跑是感恩节前后在美国举办的一项公益跑步或竞走活动，通常为长距离类型。传统上，人们举办火鸡跑活动，是因为美国人的感恩节大餐格外丰盛，而火鸡跑能让人们在节日大餐之前先燃烧一些卡路里。

Some organizations hold their turkey trots the week prior to Thanksgiving in order to provide festive holiday meals to homeless and low-income families in their community. First prize for winning turkey trots is often an actual frozen turkey that the winner can use for his or her family's Thanksgiving feast.

一些机构在感恩节前一周举办火鸡跑，目的是为社区内的流浪者和低收入家庭供应节日食品。火鸡跑的冠军通常会获得一只货真价实的冷冻火鸡，可以和家人一起在感恩节晚宴上分享。

The oldest known turkey trot footrace took place in Buffalo, New York, and has been happening every year since 1896. Nearly 13,000 runners participated in the 4.97 mile race last year.

已知最早的火鸡跑起源于纽约布法罗地区，从1896年至今每年都会举办。去年有近13000名选手参加了全程长约8公里的火鸡跑。
