Since it began 10 years ago, the WB Turkey Trot has gained a tremendous following. Over the years, businesses, friends, service groups, neighbors and families have gathered for a morning of silly, good-natured competition. Along with supporting a great cause and getting in a little fresh air and exercise, it is also the best place around to see some crazy hats and variations on the Turkey costume theme! It has also become a Thanksgiving tradition for many. For more information and to register, please use this link: http://www.wilmingtonturkeytrot.com/
