For the Benning family, Thanksgiving means coming together—and taking part in the Naperville Turkey Trot! 🦃. The upcoming race will be their 18th consecutive year!
With family members traveling from out of state, runners and walkers joining in, and even a memorable hot dog costume, this tradition has given them plenty of stories to share.
Watch as they talk about their favorite memories, why they keep coming back, and what it means to support the Naperville Noon Lions’ work helping people with vision and hearing needs.
