Trotters Sought for WeHa School's Annual 'Turkey Trot'

WEST HARTFORD, CT — If the crowds and hustle-bustle of the Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving are a bit much, there's a tamer, calmer event in West Hartford to help you work up an appetite.

That's because West Hartford's Webster Hill Elementary School is hosting its fourth annual "Webster Hill Turkey Trot" on Thanksgiving morning from 8 to 10 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 28.

And registrants are being sought now.

While the fundraiser for the Webster Hill PTO is a 5K road race, participants can run, walk, stroll, skip, moonwalk and, even, levitate (if they can) during the event. Parents with strollers are encouraged to come as well.

Participants can, even, don costumes while trotting, organizers said.

The participating fee is $15 for those aged 5-1 and $25 for those aged 14 and up. Children 4 and under are free.

The 'Turkey Trot' starts at the school, which is located at 125 Webster Hill Blvd, West Hartford.
