POLSON – How about a little exercise before Thanksgiving dinner? Runners and walkers from all over the Mission Valley came out on Thursday morning to celebrate Thanksgiving and sneak in an early holiday workout during the 11th annual 5K Turkey Trot hosted by Polson Running.
At the start of the race, temperatures were brisk. Many of the 150 plus participants, who came out to walk, jog and run the Turkey Trot, dressed in layers, hats and gloves. A few participants dressed up in complete festive costumes and others wore turkey hats. A few people brought their four-legged companions to run beside them.
Runners and walkers of all fitness levels took off from the starting line near the intersection of U.S. Highway 93 and State Highway 35. They raced east along State Highway 35 before turning around and running back to the finish line in front of Century 21.
Landon Shipley of Polson was the men’s division and overall winner of this year’s event with a time of 19:54. Polson Lady Pirate Bea Frissell was the women’s winner with a time of 20:44. She also won in 2016 and 2017.
Lake Farms donated two 50-pound sacks of potatoes for the first finishing female and male runners.
While the race gave runners the opportunity to burn a few calories off before a nice Thanksgiving Day meal, the Turkey Trot is also a fundraiser. The proceeds will benefit the Polson Loaves and Fish Pantry, an organization that aids Mission Valley area families.
According to race organizers with the Polson Running club, many runners donated canned food along with their entry fees. This year, the Turkey Trot raised $860 dollars for the food pantry.
The club’s next sponsored race will be the fifth annual Sorry ‘Bout That Half Marathon on Jan. 12. Check out their website www.polsonrunning.com for more information.
