Turkey Trots have become a Thanksgiving tradition, inviting an estimated 800,000 people each year to run in more than 1,000 events nationwide—ranging from 5Ks to marathons—before they chow down on some serious carbs. But do you know exactly how long you’d have to run in order to burn off all the Turkey Day calories consumed later? Mizuno created an infographic breaking down each of the Thanksgiving plate staples into minutes of running required for calories burned. These calculations are based on a 175-pound individual running at a 10-minute per mile pace.
