Setting the record straight
The Wayne Joseph Memorial Turkey Trot 5K will be held Nov. 28.
Runners can register before the run at 7:30 a.m., in the parking lot area at Coconut Island, but it makes for a smoother start if entrants preregister at www.webscorer.com/register?raceid=191760.
An incorrect date was listed in the Nov. 15 edition.
Race director Bob Wedemann will have room for 300 entrants with bibs — “I’m hoping we run out of them,” he said — and reminds that checks made out of the food pantry, will be accepted at the race site.
