Kids and adults alike packed the Long Beach boardwalk for the 19th annual City Council Turkey Trot on Sunday, Nov. 17.
The one-mile children’s race began at 8:30 a.m., with hundreds of young runners eager to finish first. The 10K, or 6.2 mile, race began at 9 a.m.
Jackson Schuh, 14, finished first in the children’s race, breezing past the finish line. He was well in the lead, leaving no doubt about his win. Michael O’Donnell finished first in the 10K, with the winning time of just over 38 minutes. Sara Dowling finished as the first female finisher shortly after.
The Turkey Trot is a long-standing tradition in Long Beach, marking another popular race and shining a light on the upcoming Thanksgiving.
It was sponsored by Long Beach Nursing and Rehabilitation and to our supporting race sponsors Mount Sinai South Nassau and the T-shirt sponsor was Bethpage Federal Credit Union.
