FARGO— For the last seven years, nearly a thousand people lined up at the YMCA on First Avenue to 'Burn the Bird' on Thanksgiving morning.
This year, the street is nearly empty, since the eighth annual race is virtual.
The 5k and 10k races raise money for 'Livestrong,' a wellness program for cancer survivors. Runners can do it anytime between November 19 and 29, and submit their time online to win fun prizes.
The fitness director from the YMCA, Ryan Carlson, says it's a great way to get exercise in on the holiday.
"Ya know, grab the family before you cook the turkey and go out and get a little exercise before you sit down and eat and hopefully sleep it off the rest of the day!"
The calorie control council says the average American typically consumes between 3,000 and 4,500 calories during their Thanksgiving Day celebration.
