A Long Beach tradition, the Turkey Trot is the last run of the fall season. Held on the boardwalk, the Turkey Trot is actually two races in one. The first race is a one mile shortened version for kids. It is followed by the 10k run for adults. Winners went home with Thanksgiving turkeys!
We had an impressive turnout. The race spread quite a bit and fortunately we had the resources to handle the posts. In total, nearly fifty intersections were crossed by the runners. This included crossing Park Avenue, Beech Street and Broadway twice. The bicycle patrol was able to dart through the course- back and forth and on the boardwalk keeping track of the runners and stragglers. The IPMBA trained bicycle patrol unit really shines during events such as this.
