Turkeyfoot Trot Race Recap

Turkeyfoot Trot is a race that raises funds for the St. Barbara Church Building Fund.  The Building Fund helps with upkeep and new construction at St. Barabara Chruch.  It is (surprise) held at St. Barbara Church on Turkeyfoot Road in Independence Kentucky.
2012 was the 5th year for the race.  I decided to do this race since it was a short drive from home and for 2012 the smaller races have more appeal to me than the larger ones.  They had about 200 runners and walkers for the race which was a record number. Race Day Registration was $25 which included a long sleeve t-shirt if you got there before they ran out. The race also had chip timing with the Ipico Chip placed on the shoe. The course was an out and back course on Turkeyfoot Road.  The downhill going out and the nice tailwind made for an unusually fast first mile. I paid for my fast first mile coming back on the third mile which was uphill with a headwind.  Conditions for the race were great with Sunny and almost 50.   Post race was outstanding as they featured turkey sandwiches, pizza, cookies, various types of fruit and vegetables, small bags of potato chips and water.  Results took sometime to do but I really had no place to go so I stayed for the awards. Awards were gift cards courtesy of the Tri-State Running Company and went to the top two males and top females in 5 year age groups. After the awards they had door prizes which included a free turkey to some lucky winner.  I may do it again due to the nice postrace, somewhat challenging course and decent price for a 5k run with a shirt.
