Something To Say At ROA: A Quick Link Roundup



The 62nd annual Troy Turkey Trot will be held on Thanksgiving day, November 26th 2009.

The first Turkey Trot ever was in 1896 held rather locally in Buffalo NY. Since the beginning the Turkey Trot here in Troy has grown into one of the largest road races in upstate NY. There are at least 6,000 participants ready to hit the streets this Thanksgiving morning.

The 5k race will start on 4th and Fulton Street. You can register online until 12pm on Wednesday November 25th. There will be some changes this year to the course and the race start times in order to enable a larger field of racers and hopefully solve previous years traffic problems.

The schedule of events looks like this:

7:45 a.m.………….. Turkey Walk
9:30 a.m.………….. Open 5K
10:30 a.m.………… Grade School 1 Mile
10:45 a.m.………… Open 10K

I will be fighting the traffic and mobs of people to Live-Blog the open 5k via my Twitter.

Hope to see you there!
