Richmond Beach Turkey Day Fun Run brings out hundreds of runners

Hundreds of people came out Thanksgiving morning to run and walk in Richmond Beach's Turkey Day Fun Run.

Babies in strollers, senior citizens strolling, teams in matching outfits, dogs, costumes, red noses - oh and don't forget the team with the turkey heads in honor of the day.

The poster for this year's event was displayed on a sweatshirt held by Christie Quigley (left) and Jan Manfredini.

The turkey heads blend right in with the very diverse crowd of runners.

Lisa Guenser and Jessica Guenser were there to help sign in runners for the Turkey Day Fun Run. The weather was actually quite cooperative for the event, with clear skies. It was a bit cold, as you can tell by the red noses....

It really is all for fun - getting out and being very active on a day traditionally set aside for gorging. 

Kiana Burt had a jar full of red noses. "Clowning around encouraged".

It was clear that this crowd was having a good time!
