For those who are from College Station or just staying in town for Thanksgiving, start your Thanksgiving morning on the go! The 14th annual BCS Turkey Trot 5K run and one-mile walk is at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center! Starting at promptly 8 a.m. and going till 10 a.m. on November 27th, all students, families, and anyone wanting to participate are invited! Located at The Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, 800 Scott & White Dr, College Station, Texas 77845.

After the race, you are more than welcome to an assortment of pies from their friends at HEB, local craft beer from Blackwater Draw Brewing, and music to celebrate (or calm down) from that trot!

In the spirit of thanks (and giving), the proceeds of the race go to Mercy Project, a non-profit organization working to rescue children from slavery in Ghana, Africa.

So why not run for a good cause? I’ll be running one with my family; it adds a little achievement to your Thanksgiving, and you get to be on a hot girl or boy run! Work up that appetite for Thanksgiving dinner!

Kiera is a sophomore economics major and is minoring in mathematics(potentially pursuing a master's or going to law school). She's a part of the Texas A&M Economic Society but is really interested in sports economics. She wants to pursue a job in either marketing or as a contract negotiation lawyer, which sounds fancy, but she loves a good argument. She has worked as a tutor for Aggieland Tutoring for about a year. As an economics student, she is really passionate about supply and demand, namely, the fact that Trader Joe's items always seem to be sold out. However, she fills that hole in her heart by reading romance and fantasy novels or watching crime shows and action movies. Kiera's hobbies include playing sand volleyball, napping with her corgi, Lilly, and anything that has to do with food or coffee. She's also a part of the public relations committee, which she is elated about because it gives her not only a creative outlet but also a pathway to grow her passion in marketing and design. A lot of her inspiration comes from her travel destinations. Fun fact, she's been to the state of Hawaii ten times, and counting, she's going back in December, but she loves any and all destinations, but secretly has a soft spot for Boston for some reason.
