Hundreds flock to 15th annual Turkey Trot
BONNERS FERRY — Roughly 115,500 calories were burned before Thanksgiving feasts were enjoyed — at least for those who came out for the 15th annual Bonners Ferry Turkey Trot.
A whopping 388 runners came out to run or walk the 5K course, some even ran the 10K, despite the chill and cloudy skies. This year, a truckload of food donations were given to the local food bank, as part of admission to the run.
“Tom the Turkey” again returned to spice up the race. Each year a runner is chosen to play “Tom,” who earns a head start to the 10K race and carries a turkey baster. Any runner who passes “Tom” collects the turkey baster and becomes “Tom.” The runner who crosses the finish line with the turkey baster in hand wins a turkey.
