I don\'t get it. Our local turkey trot draws 2500 to 3000 runners annually. They offer a 5-mile run and 2 mile run/walk. Top 5 overall in the 5-mile receive turkeys. Other 5-Mile age group winners have to go online to print a certificate if they want an \"award.\" All entrants receive a shirt and small pumpkin pie. 2-Mile isn\'t even timed. Course is never certified, no or cheap awards, cotton shirt, typically cold weather, I just don\'t get it. Our other local running events typically draw 100 to 400 runners.
