- Many racers who’ve run the race during the past 25
years are now participating with their kids. This past year,
three generations of the Caverhill family, Troy, his wife,
Stephanie, their sons, Cullin, Lucien and Austin, and
Troy’s Dad, Philip Caverhill, all crossed the finish line. The
Harrigans recalled that the Jepson family, Brent Jepson, his
son, Taylor, who was 10 or 11 years old at the time, and
Brent’s late father, Ken Jepson, also ran the race together
about 10 years ago. Some other local regulars at the Turkey
Trot Race over the years include: the Art Thompson family,
the Prest family and the Freme family. Individual longtime runners include Connie McLellan, Chris Smith, and
Angie (Edgecomb) Ewings. Dr. Harrigan reminisced that
Art Thompson of Limestone has run many races with Tom
Turkey, after running the first race 25 years ago.
- Dr. Harrigan has kept every race result board. He
