Runners of all ages take to the Turkey Trot
Saturday’s Butler YMCA Turkey Trot fundraiser turned out to be a family affair. Parents and children, some in strollers, participated in the annual 1-mile and 5K races to raise money for the Y’s discounted and free membership program.
Participants started and finished at the YMCA at 399 N. Washington St. The 1-mile course traveled West Penn Avenue and looped around Miller Avenue while the 5Kers traveled to Memorial Park and back.
Mark DuPont of Butler, on the 5K event, was joined by his wife, Leslie, and daughters, Emma, 10; Kate, 8; and Alice, 2.
Emma was going to run with her father. “I wanted to do this race. I run three times a week with my dad,” Emma said.
