Hearty, festive souls turn out for Turkey Trot in Palatine
There was a little something for everyone who likes to run or walk Thanksgiving morning at the 36th annual Palatine Park District and Lavelle Law Turkey Trot at Harper College.
Besides the 5- and 2-mile run/walks, there was a Drumstick Dash for kids 10 and younger.
The cool weather made for quick times. Argeni Bailon was the overall winner in the 5-mile run in 26:01. Brendan Thielson was second, 20 seconds behind. Nora Ferguson led the women to a first-place finish in 29:40.
In the 2-mile run, Nicholas Vucovich was the overall winner in 10:17 and Madison Marasco was first in the women's division in 12:19.
