Happy Turkey Trot Day! See you all in a couple of hours! As of this morning we have 191 people registered to trot! This is a record breaking year! Bundle up! It is cold out there! We will start the trot right at 9:00 with a few announcements/logistics prior. I will draw raffle prizes right after the run. We do usually pack up pretty quickly so people can get their holiday started, travel or just warm up!
