Lowville Turkey Trot 2023
 The annual Lowville Turkey Day 5 K was
held on a great North Country Day for running! Thanksgiving Day greeted
over 290 runners and walkers with temperatures in the mid
thirties and cloudy skies. Family groups of seven and eight came
from near and far and enjoyed their exercise early on
the holiday.
The event is a
family fun run with no official timing or awards. Many participants dress
in turkey attire and we had a great group of
children among the walkers and runners. Everyone has a good time and by 10
AM we head home to enjoy the remainder of the holiday.
 While the event is
informal, there were many speedy runners on the road. Eliana Bonbrest from Turin was the fastest women at 22:00. She
was followed by Anya Rush in 22:15 and Linnea Haney in 23:28. For the men,
Tyler Boliver from Croghan led in a time of 20:10. Andrew Fink was second
in 20:20 and veteran runner (not quite old) Doug Domagala was third in
20:28.
Double Play
Community Center is proud to host the twelfth annual Lowville Turkey Day
5K. Double Play expresses a special thank you to Dr. Steve Lyndaker and Dr.
Shareen Palmer at Lowville Medical Associates. The local medical practice
has sponsored the run every year since its inception. A large group of the
Lyndaker Family came to participate in the event. Invenergy Number Three Wind was also a
lead sponsor this year. Rhonda Pilgrom, an
Invenergy representative, traveled from Buffalo to run the course! The
Turkey Trot provides all its proceeds to the United Way Renee Beyer
Memorial Fund with over $4,000 raised this year. Double Play Community
Center has been dedicated to raising funds for this cause with multiple
events each year. The Lowville Turkey Day 5K will be back in 2024 to kick
off the Thanksgiving holiday.
