"Will you marry me?" -- said to me just after a Turkey Trot race.
“So, where is the turkey?.”
some chunky dude with a beer belly was staring at my shoes at the award ceremony when and then approached me to ask about the shoes.
He said "those are race shoes, right? I bet if I had those I would have gotten an award too!"
He was serious.
Some guy asked me the dumbest thing I had ever heard at a Turkey Trot. That was the dumbest thing.

"That guy is training for the Olympics" - said about Ben True.
"Galen should win easily"
"Cain's comeback starts today"
Mine is more of a visual.
I was spectating our local turkey trot that my wife was running. The course passed near the start finish area at about the two mile mark. The father of a family I was standing next to was handed a water bottle by his wife, squeezed some liquid into his mouth (from about six inches away like in a Gatorade commercial) and then slammed the bottle on the ground for one of his kids to collect .)
He may have been running at about 25 minute pace. It was probably 35 degrees out.
Airbody Turkey.
"This is my 1st Marathon."
"Why is the letsrun forum obsessed with turkey trots?"
Actually, that's a very good question.
Not quite in line with the subject but there is a Turkey Trot I run often that has a large field and there is always this guy standing right near the start line, smoking a cigar for the 20 minutes or so leading up to the start of the race.
He's some older guy in the neighborhood that comes out to watch the event, puffing away so the runners smell his smoke before they take off and race.

That's in the category of smartest/best things overheard/said to you at a Turkey Trot.
We have 3,000+ in our local trot, and no one manages to line up according to their ability. That illicits some choice words every time, but the year a suburban mom dressed in jeans and a North Face jacket lined up in front holding her XL Starbucks latte and began screaming bloody murder as she got bumped right and left by passing runners who were yelling “line up in back for f#ck’$ sake” was particularly spectacular.

Should have included Mom screamimg "OH MY GOD, WHAT IS GOING ON?" as she was getting knocked around at the start of her planned Thanksgiving Day stroll was the dumbest thing I've heard at my local trot. Not sure what she thought those other 3,000 people lined up behind her were planning to do. Dingy people are annoying in the moment, but they make for great stories.
