After Thanksgiving, come burn off those extra calories with family and friends along the beautiful Darien High School cross-country trail! Last year's event featured over 600 runners, and we're expecting an even bigger crowd this year, including over 800 event attendees. Music and food are part of this tradition. All proceeds benefit The Depot, Darien's Youth Center.
