- Q4985889 abstract "The Buffalo Turkey Trot is an annual 8K (4.97 miles) Thanksgiving footrace held in Buffalo, New York each Thanksgiving Day. The Buffalo Turkey Trot, a popular fundraiser for the local branch of the YMCA, runs five miles down Delaware Avenue in Buffalo.The race proclaims itself to be the oldest continually running public footrace in North America, having established itself in 1896 and run every year since. The Around the Bay Road Race in nearby Hamilton, Ontario, first run in 1894, also claims the title of Oldest Road Race in North America, although that race was not held during World War I or during a ten-year stretch between 1925 and 1935 (thus the Buffalo Turkey Trot has had the longer continuous run). It is a mere five months older than the Boston Marathon, launched April 1897.The Turkey Trot has increased in popularity in recent years. In 1981, the race drew slightly over 1,000 runners. By 1986, the field had doubled in size to 2,000 runners. It drew a crowd of 12,500 runners (the maximum the YMCA would allow) for the 2010 race, resulting in the YMCA arranging to increase capacity and accommodate 13,200 runners in 2011, which also maxed out several days before Thanksgiving. The race again filled the expanded 14,000-runner field over a week before Thanksgiving in 2012.The race is partially a serious competition and partially a fun run; participants in the Turkey Trot have been known to wear unusual costumes (comparable to those used by the contestants in the game show Let's Make a Deal) such as turkey suits, hockey uniforms with mullets, Chewbacca outfits, or formal wedding wear while racing. Former Headmen from Camp Pathfinder have portaged 16 foot wooden and canvas canoes the entire length of the race.".
