(CAMBRIDGE, Md) – Runners from across the Chesapeake have come to Cambridge the morning of Thanksgiving to take part in the YMCA annual Turkey Trot. And for some, it’s becoming their favorite new tradition.

For some families like Greta King and her mother, they came down from Annapolis to take part in the Cambridge Turkey Trot for the first time.

“It’s just going to be a very, a very good moment. Cause normally I don’t get to spend time just like the two of us. So instead of having, like, the whole family, it’s just like time for the two of us,” says Greta.

While others like Ross Noble alongside his wife, father-in-law-and daughter, are all runners in their own respects, and they’ve decided they all wanted the Turkey Trot to become their new tradition for Thanksgiving.

Ross tells WMDT, “Makes me feel really good that my daughter actually wants to start doing what I’ve been doing for the last couple of years, and I’m really excited for her to get hooked into kind of the whole run. But it’s also really great to see all the people coming out and excited to run the Turkey Trot today.”

Others were up the crack of dawn, ready to take to the streets of Cambridge, dogs and children in tow; excited to get to running before taking a seat at the table.

“This is my first turkey trot. This is only my second, I think five games. So I’m excited to be out here,” says Talley Berry of Trappe.

While Audra Harmon of Easton says, “Oh, it’s motivating that everybody’s starting their Thanksgiving in a healthy way. That we’re moving, getting everything going.”

The YMCA of the Chesapeake held Turkey Trots in every community across the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
