Turkey Trot Race in Mesa, Arizona


Wayne ran a 10K race on Thursday morning right on Thanksgiving. The 39th traditional Turkey Trot was held in Mesa at the Red Mountain Park located at 7745 E Brown Road, Mesa, AZ on Thanksgiving morning, November 27th, 2008. The race started at 8:15 am with thousands of people at the start line. It was amazing to see so many people in good shape in one spot. What were they racing for? A turkey!
The winner of each age group received a turkey as an award.
