Story updated with race & walk results at 4:40 p.m.
Hundreds of hearty folks began their Thanksgiving Day celebration by participating in the Peru Lions Club’s 37th annual John P. Adams Memorial Turkey Trot. Yesterday’s snowfall made walking and running a little treacherous, but that didn’t seem to deter the congenial families and supporters from having a great time. Lets face it, the Turkey Trot is a Peru tradition. A total of 362 runners braved the first snow of the season to help support the Peru Lions Club in the running of their 37th annual event. The Lions would like to thank the local community for their continued support.
