Northern Marianas Athletics will host the 21st Annual Mt. Tapochao Turkey Trot Fun Run on Thanksgiving morning tomorrow, Nov. 24.
The challenge features a 4.2-mile course beginning at the Department of Public Works Beach in Lower Base and ending at the peak of Mt. Tapochao.
Five age categories will be featured for both males and females including 12-and-under, 17-and-under, open, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, and 50-and-over.
Registration begins at 5:15am at the starting point, with the race set to get underway at 6am. Adults must pay an entrance fee of $7 while youth runners will pay just $5.
Last year, a total of 63 early birds conquered strong winds, heavy rain, and a foggy path up to Mt. Tapochao.
Topping the race was veteran triathlete Russ Quinn, who reached the peak in 39.51. He was followed by Robert Jordan (39.58) and Dirk Sharer (40.42).
