Turkey Trot, Gobble Wobble brings out Thanksgiving runners in Carson City
“Run Now, Gobble Later,” said the Turkey Trot sign, and Carson City runners seemed to be all in. Even with the wet streets from rain earlier in the morning.
The Turkey Trot began at 8:30 Thanksgiving morning in front of the Governor’s Mansion, and the adorably named “Gobble Wobble” kids run began at 8:45.
The Turkey Trot has quickly become a Carson City tradition, as over 600 people participated last year alone.
Hosted by St. Teresa Catholic School, the Turkey Trot offers an 8K (5-mile) run, 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk, and the Gobble Wobble Kids Fun.
Organizers asked participants this year to donate a ziplock bag of small personal hygiene items for the Homeless Christmas Stocking Project.
Families, professional runners, school children, toddlers and furry friends were all in the mix this year.
The run is for everyone, so make sure to sign up next year!
