A sold-out 14,000-runner YMCA Turkey Trot ran through the streets of Buffalo Thanksgiving morning.

All of the proceeds benefit the local YMCA, which will bring in over $300,000 in the biggest fundraiser of the year, according to YMCA Buffalo Niagara communications director Geoff Falkner.

The 112-year-old tradition is the oldest of its kind on the continent, and drew in runners from five different countries across the world.
