Another tradition returned on Thanksgiving morning: Beford’s Turkey Trot drew scores of runners and walkers who raised $15,000 for the Bedford Food Pantry. Congratulations to race organizer Chuck Connell and his team, as well as all the participants in this morning’s event.
Finishing in what was noted as a possible all-time course record of 15:55, Alex Healey hardly broke a sweat; Anoush Arakelian was the first woman to finish; and Rowan Quinlan, accompanied by a cousin visiting from the west coast, was the first walker.
Turkey Trot 2021 is a picture story in two galleries. One by The Bedford Citizen and a second by local photographer Rob Ackerman.
