Dash-off the calories at the ‘Leftover Turkey Trot’
BETHPAGE, N.Y. – A Turkey Trot is typically a 5k that takes place on Thanksgiving morning. Although this is the event most people would attend, some cannot due to their own personal preparations for Thanksgiving. Elitefeats thought of this and hosted a Leftover Turkey Trot, a Turkey Trot that takes place after Thanksgiving. They chose Bethpage State Park as the location of this event, giving people an opportunity to participate in a race if they missed out on Thanksgiving.
There were over a hundred runners there all participating with their family to support them. The race began exactly at 9:30 and took a little over an hour for the last contestant to finish. Throughout the race Elitefeats had water stations set up for all the runners. After the race they made sure to clean up all of the dropped bottles to ensure no littering had occurred.
We also discovered that some may run for fun, but others like to run for the competition. One person from each age group male and female are able to win a gold medal for coming in first. The winner of the entire competition was Patrick Fullam with a time of 21:04.
As Patrick Fullam received his medal he also got his picture taken by Elitefeats, these pictures can be seen on Elitefeats official website. On their website you are able to view a picture of every contestant crossing the finish, as well as their times.
