More than 300 runners do the Turkey Trot
By JAMES A. JONES JR.
BRADENTON — It was 45 degrees
Thanksgiving morning and more than 300 runners turned out for the 11th annual
Turkey Trot.
“It’s
amazing, people will come out to run when there are no awards, no prizes, just
for the love of running,” said Tom Orehowsky, executive race director as
runners set off on the five-mile run down 75th Street West from the entrance of
DeSoto National Monument.
Josh
Sanchez, who turned 19 on race day, was the top finisher for the men,
completing the course in 27 minutes, 11 seconds.
