With election season freshly behind us and the holiday madness in front of us, it’s safe to say that stress levels are high. Left unchecked, excessive anxiety can take a toll on your health, happiness and the general “adulting” you’re supposed to be doing in earnest right about now.

I Like Pie Run/Walk FootZone’s annual Thanksgiving-themed run/walk is untimed and all about getting some fun exercise before reveling in the holiday.
