Before the turkey and pie, thousands of people laced up their running shoes Thursday morning to race in the Drumstick Dash in North Hollywood.The race was one of several distance runs on Thanksgiving morning. The Drumstick Dash is in its ninth year and is billed by organizers as the largest Thanksgiving Day run in Los Angeles County, with approximately 7,500 people running. Some participated in the 5k, while others ran the 10k near Lankershim and Chandler boulevards.
The event benefits Hope the Mission, a nonprofit organization that seeks to prevent, reduce and eliminate poverty, hunger and homelessness.The theme of the Drumstick Dash is 'move your feet, so others can eat.''I grew up low income and so for me it's just a really nice thing to help people that were in the same situation that I was in and now I'm in a better place and I can help,' said runner Alehandra Monerrosa.
