About the Turkey Trot
The Turkey Trot runs through Simpson Park, with proceeds going toward scholarships for local high school seniors. There is a costume element if you want it, with a prize for the best one, though most people skip it. The race has a cause behind it, which gives the morning a purpose beyond just the running.
