PHOTOS: Runners take on Carbondale Turkey Trot for Thanksgiving

People flocked to the start line. No feathers were ruffled.

Despite Covid-19 restrictions canceling most events around Garfield County for Thanksgiving, the Carbondale Turkey Trot went off without a hitch.

In groups of 10 socially-distanced runners, some of whom dressed in their finest turkey garb, people spent a brisk Thursday morning taking on a 5k or one-mile fun run.
