Eslin wins 5K on freezing Thanksgiving morning

BAR HARBOR — Single-digit temperatures and biting wind didn’t faze the 52 runners and walkers who participated in the Mount Desert Island YMCA’s annual Catch That Turkey 5K race Thanksgiving morning.

Y staff member Michael Benz ran in a turkey costume. Race director Jennifer Britz gave the turkey about a 30-second head start, and then any runner who caught up with him over the course of the race was entered into a drawing to win a Bartlett Bakery cake. The cake winners were Troy Brown and his son Blake, 11, the youngest runner in the race.

The race is a fundraiser for the YMCA and is sponsored by Coston and McIsaac.
