Turkey Trot
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – The United Way of Marathon County Turkey Trot was held Thursday morning. More than 1,700 took part.
Money raised supports the Marathon County Hunger Coalition.
Participants followed a route down to the river walk and back to the 400 Block.
First-place winner, Ben Stangel, finished in 18 minutes, 30 seconds. “Yeah, it was slippery too, so when they had dogs, it was hard to move, so I had to go in the snow a lot,” explained Stangel. “But yeah, it was a fun turkey trot.”
“It went great,” said WAOW meteorologist Justin Loew. “Usually I start out fast and then I slow down in the middle so I can kick it at the end. But this time I tried to maintain a high pace throughout. Made it tougher to sprint at the end, but I still did. Not sure of my time, but I’m very confident it was better than last year even though the course is a little bit longer.”
