Naples Turkey Trot helps community groups. Here's how
NAPLES – The Naples Turkey Trot is always a big day for the community, in part because it’s Thanksgiving but also for the good it does.
Toward that end, organizers said new records were set at the 13th annual event held Nov. 24 at Naples Community Park.
For one, 183 people trotted and in doing so, raised $4,589.
Who gets what in Naples
Of the $4,589 raised in entry fees, individual donations and business sponsorships, the bulk of it goes to Naples Hospeace House, at $1,419.
The Naples Open Cupboard gets $1,119, and the Naples Community Park Foundation gets $998. The Naples Central School Teacher Partnership Committee gets $953.
And because the varsity girls soccer team had the greatest Naples sports team participation, $100 will help throw them a pretty impressive pizza party.
Here's how the Naples trotters finished
The top three 3 female finishers in the 5K were: Rosilee Forrest, 22:38; Erica Reigelsperger, 22:56; and Kate Costanza, 25:20.
The top three male finishers were: Drew Reigelsperger, 18:06; Jude Rischpater, 18:06; and Tim Hansen, 18:37.
