Thanksgiving is, by definition, a blur of dead birds and nondairy whipped toppings followed by a six-hour residency on the couch. Feel superior to your relatives and combat the afternoon’s sloth and gluttony by panting through Van Nuys for the early morning 5K Turkey Trot. Limping through three miles will burn off a chunk of your keester, to be readily replaced with marshmallowed yams and a heaping plate of your aunt’s Jell-O abomination.
6300 Balboa Blvd., Van Nuys; 6:30 a.m.; $30
