ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Thanksgiving has arrived and many people have made running part of their tradition. From the Webster Trot in Webster to the Gobble Wobble in Gates, the Rochester area was full of runners and walkers on Thursday morning.
News10NBC’s crew was at The Feast, a five-mile run and two-mile run that went through the streets of downtown Rochester. The races kicked off outside the Blue Cross Arena at 9 a.m. Runners went down Exchange Boulevard all the way to the University of Rochester campus.
“Getting up early and active on Thanksgiving morning is an awesome family tradition that everybody should start. And then we didn’t have to run anymore so we get to just stand and cheer and ring cowbells and gobble,” said Maggie Baackes who cheered on runners.
“I think everyone’s been in good spirits. I mean, lots of cheering, people in costumes on the sides. There’s a lot of support out here. Love seeing all the turkey heads,” said Jordan and Kelly who participated in the run.
