It was dark when Devin Brossard, Arlington Rotarian and Arlington Runners Club President, started the setup for the Turkey Trot 5 K in the parking lot of Arlington Grocery Outlet.  Other club members soon joined him and, with many hands, setup was almost completed before the rain arrived.

 

The course had to be rerouted because of flooding.  Runners ran out on the Centennial Trail where frozen turkeys had been placed along side the path.  Those arriving at the bird could keep the turkey but only if he/she carried it back unaided with a back pack or anything else but their hands.

 

14 Rotarians and their family members helped members of the Arlington Runners Club put on the event. 

 

One member of our club, Lee Harman, actually ran the race and was the fastest in age group. 

 

The primary sponsor for the race was Arlington's Grocery Outlet and Bargain Market.  Of course the turkeys and the pumpkin pie came from the Outlet.
