Overall, the race had 511 Runners/Walkers participate in the 5K and 71 Walkers participate in the one mile fun walk, with an increase of 188 participants from the 2009event, a new record!
"We are extremely grateful for all of the support of our sponsors of this year's event," stated Mettler. "McDonalds was an outstanding host sponsor providing everything from the t-shirts to snacks for our runners. The sixth year of our Turkey Trot was a huge success and we are looking forward to an even better 2011," Mettler concluded.
McDonalds was the host sponsor of the race and donated all of the t-shirts, cash prizes to award winners and provided breakfast and the facilities for race participants. David Culp & Company, Parkview Huntington Hospital, Mettler Agency Inc., and MarkleBank were all sponsors of the event and El Shaddai produced the t-shirts at a discounted rate for the event.
