Run fast first, then feast

The 45th Annual Ray Barbuti Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot was run in typically fine style, starting and ending at the Morris Memorial on Park Row in the Village of Chatham. Thanksgiving morning (November 25) was chilly but dry and the turnout was colorful. Family members from around the world took time off from reunions, as sons and daughters laced up their shoes, pulled down their masks for a moment and ran just for the heck of it. The winner of the Youth Mile and Community Walk was ten-year-old Madeline Waring, whose time was 6:50. The 5K Road Race was won by Jack Raske with a time of 16:01. Pictured at the start of the 5K road race, runners set their wrist timers. The Morris Memorial Association hosts the event every year, though last year it was a virtual event due to the pandemic.
