Future Olympic long-distance runner looking to be fastest person ever to run 10K in full turkey costume

A future Olympian and four-time NCAA champion is looking to add one more accolade to her resume - fastest known turkey.

Long-distance runner Molly Seidel finished second in her very first marathon, qualifying for the U.S. Olympic team. However, while she waits for the Tokyo games next year, she will run a 10K on Thanksgiving dressed head to toe as a turkey in an attempt to become the fastest person ever to cover 10K in a full turkey costume.
