QUINCY, ILL. -- Thanksgiving is all about tradition and this year was no different.

A record number of runners took on the chilly weather for the 32nd annual Quincy YMCA Turkey Run.

Our very own Carol Sowers kicked things off this morning.

Not everyone chose to run 5 or 10 K's.

Others participated in the one mile or 5 K walk by themselves, with friends, or even with their pets.

Many people we spoke to come out get their day started.

Some said they do it every year.

Individuals paid $27 and families paid $55 to participate.

All proceeds will go toward youth programs at the YMCA.
