Race Recap By Josh Keane:

What a great way to start off our Thanksgiving Day at the Tuscarawas County YMCA Turkey Trot 5k! Over the years this race consistently gets bigger. It is a flat and fast course with a nice t-shirt and prizes for age group and overall winners. No medals and not a lot of swag but a good course and atmosphere. I was able to maintain a 7:44 average pace and finish in 24:01 for 5th out of 24 in my age group and 128th out of 865 overall. Great run close to home and we enjoy this one every time we run it.

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

This small local 5K has grown to over 800 trotters this year! The night before and day of packet pick up was organized and easy.
Easy directions and plenty of close parking. Indoor staging, restrooms, and awards.
Flat, fast well marked course with plenty of police and volunteer presence for safety.
Chip timing and live results.
Short sleeve tees for all runners and unique awards for top 3 overall / age group winners.
Limited water, Gatorade, and bananas after the race.
The rain held off to a drizzle and I felt great getting out to stretch my legs with some of my favorites!
Super congested start made it tough for everyone to get going but it thinned out pretty quickly.
I was a 2nd place age group winner and love my rubber duck (turkey) award!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Race Recap By Nancy Wardell:

I completed the YMCA Turkey Trot in Dover this morning with teammates Lisa Keane and Josh Keane! It was a a good morning for a little run. Apparently there were about 1,000 people signed up. I finished at 30:34. Was 10th of 47 in my age group. Now it’s time to relax and unwind. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
