On the morning of Nov. 22, Thanksgiving Day, the annual Turkey Trot commenced at Lake Mohawk. There were three races within the entire Turkey Trot: the One-Mile Fun Run, the notorious 5k, and last but not least, the grueling 10k. These races ran through the Lake Mohawk area, but had different courses according to their contrasting distances. The event is in support of the Sparta Education Foundation, and is usually well-attended by locals and even from people out-of-town.
As if the races alone weren’t enough for our runners, the weather was more an obstacle on its own. The harshness of the cold outside took a toll on almost everyone who attended the event, but that didn’t stop the brave runners from participating, spectators from observing, and volunteers from helping out. Some even showed their spirit with festive Thanksgiving costumes, and others with costumes completely unrelated to Thanksgiving. This year’s Turkey Trot was a good start to everyone’s favorite November holiday, and was yet another success for the Sparta community.
