Allen Oakes and his son, John David Oakes, make their way along the course of the 12th annual Mt Laurel Elementary School Turkey Trot in Shelby County, Alabama, on Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018.
About 140 to 150 people participated in the 12th annual Turkey Trot at Mt Laurel Elementary School Saturday morning.
Most of the runners in the 1-mile trot were students, but numerous parents joined in the race as well. It almost could have been called the Frozen Turkey Trot, with the chilly temperatures, but most of the participants had smiles on their faces, especially those who walked away with medals for finishing in the top three in their grade level.
The run, which started at the school and wound through the Town of Mt Laurel business district before finishing back at the school, was a fundraiser for the physical education department at the school. Proceeds will be used to help provide new equipment and incentives for the Mileage Club, a student running program.
Several students and parents dressed in Thanksgiving or turkey attire. Five people won a small turkey for having the best outfits in the Gobble Wobble costume contest: second-graders Adalyn Gulock and Mollie Kelley (who dressed as turkeys), Alison Carmichael and her 10-month-old baby Hartley (dressed as Native Americans) and third-grader Anna Dollar (dressed as a Native American).
Here are the top finishers in the race, by grade level:

- Chace Nickles
- Grant Fletcher
- Luke Griffin
