(The following is a release from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community.)

On a glorious sunny morning, 235 runners participated in the 19th Annual Turkey Trot 5K, held by Dakotah! Sport and Fitness on Saturday, November 17, 2012. The 3.1 mile event started at Dakotah! and continued through The Meadows at Mystic Lake, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community’s golf course.

“We were glad to have such a beautiful morning this year. It was the best race conditions we’ve had in many years,” said DSF Director Tad Dunsworth.

Awards were given to first, second, and third place overall male and female finishers of the 5K. The male and female top finishers also received a frozen turkey from Mazopiya. Individual age group winners also received gift cards to Mazopiya, the SMSC’s natural food market. All participants received t-shirts.
