The 14th annual Whitefish Turkey Trot, a fundraiser for the North Valley Food Bank, saw a record number of participants this year, as 860 people covered the 5K (3.1 mile) course. Everyone was in good spirits, some donning costumes and many traveling with four-legged friends. Some turkey trotters were quicker than others. Jake Perrin crossed the finish line in just under 15 minutes and Hannah Perrin was the speediest woman, finishing just a couple minutes later.
