The 2014 Turkey Trot was chilly but didn’t deter runners both young and old. Photo credits: EG News
The temperature at race time was 32 degrees, but runners young and old came out by the hundreds to compete in the 4th Annual Turkey Trot 5K and 1K Fun Run – about 200 in the fun run and 526 in the 5K.
The Kentish Guard readies to start the 2014 Turkey Trot.
A gunshot by this Kentish Guard started the 5K.
Lehm Houston Maguire, 19, of British Columbia and EGHS alum Ben Fazio, 19, both finished the 5K with a time of 15:43. Derek Jakoboski finished third with a time of 15:55. Chris Millman, 20, placed fourth with 16:43.
The first female finisher was Clare Hanlon, 14, with a time of 19:50. Jackie Jackman, 36, finished in 20:15 and, in third, Pamela Hunt-Thomas, 46, finished in 20:32.
Proceeds from the race, which started and finished by Pal’s Restaurant on Duke Street, are going to the Greenwich Odeum, EG’s nonprofit theater on Main Street.

Elizabeth- When I try to link to “all race results” I am getting the 2013 results and pictures when I put in the bib numbers of family members. Is there another updated site? Thanks!
Maureen, thanks for the comment. I’ve corrected the link.
