Thank you for the kind words.
fyi - The Port race has had between 3000 and 3500 runners in recent years.
Yes, I looked at last year's results and saw 3,000. 20 minutes away is Garden City at 2,000 and 20 min southeast of GC is Massapequa with another 2,000.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
Starting it out right with a bender Wednesday evening with the local townies. Hit the starting line Thursday morning and scope out the competition - find the other guy with short shorts and racing flats. Stick on his a*s for 3 miles and kick it into hyperdrive down the final stretch.

Can't race this year. spectating only. Buffalo's is probably the best trot of those with non-pro fields and no prize money.

Already signed up for a local 5k. Got my hydration vest, a ton of Gu's, and selfie stick ready, but I'm still debating if I should wear my Vaporflys or my Vibrams. My strategy is to make sure I'm right on top of the start line to make sure I get a good time, sprint as hard as I can for about 250 meters until I can't breathe, and then just stop without seeing if there's anyone behind me (gotta keep the competition guessing). Then I plan on walk/jogging between aid stations, where I'll again just stop in the most inconvenient place and take up as much space as possible. Hopefully I'll set a new PR that I can post on all my socials!
Don’t forget to “gobble gobble MFer”
It’s your first race? Go out and have fun!! Don’t worry about time or pace at all. Being around other runners is a great experience and will positively impact your desire to run. And in the moment it will pump you up!! Expect to run faster with people around you than you normally do on solo runs. The adrenaline rush is gnarly. Just don’t over do it and end up with an empty gas tank before the finish line.
I'm ready.
great shout out / reminder. I thought that race stopped giving away diamonds decades ago but I am clearly wrong
Gonna sound very lame, but my turkey trot is my goal fall race. I put in a massive block (for me) and shooting to break 16. I'm 37, father of two, this is probably my last shot at sub-16. Driving 2 hours to a big turkey trot with lots of good competition and fast course.

Good luck! I'm shooting for a similar goal. Not sure if I'm in shape for a sub 16 but we'll see! Ran a 16:30 in an XC race a few months ago. Several club team members are racing as well.
Less than 24 hours to gobble gobble time!
Forecast calls for 35 degrees and pouring rain. Should be a great time! 🦃
Just ask Justin Thomas about his little boy club the Bohemian Grove and how they're illegally raping people and using government resources to do it
I hear a turkey gets a par don e but a b**** thrown in the blinds so that way she can be systemically raped and called property does not
Someone started carb loading for tomorrow's trot a little early.

Have you read something I missed in the clinical literature or DSM V about carb loading being a risk factor for paranoid schizophrenia?
Who's gonna hip check a fellow runner into the barricade? It's Turkey Trot tradition.

What are your Thursday Turkey Trot plans?
I'll be visiting family and doing the local Trot of my high school/college days. It was my first ever road race, and I'm glad it's still around. It's an 8k that has a bit of everything. Fast college and high school runners, competitive age groupers, and folks just out for some exercise or a hangover cure before Thanksgiving dinner.
Was planning to run the Trot in DC, but now rain is forecasted. So I'm skipping it this year.
Drive north and join me in a snowy trot in bridgewater nh

36 F and rain is the forecast for race time on Thanksgiving morning in Manchester NH. I expect participation will be down this year.
