Friday Photo: Minneapolis Turkey Trot
December 2nd, 2011
My daughter, Ashley participated in this year’s Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. Here we are at the start of the race and then a nice photo of a familiar river bank site along the course.
The inaugural race began in 1989 in downtown Minneapolis. The LifeTime Fitness Turkey Day 5K has grown to host upwards of 15,000 fun-loving walkers, joggers and runners every Thanksgiving morning since then.
Besides becoming a local tradition for many, the event helps to supply the pantries of local food shelves with a record of 50,000 pounds of food being collected on race day.
