The Feaster Five Road Race is one of the Bay State's largest five mile races (an estimated 10,720 participants in 2012).[2] The race has been held every Thanksgiving morning since 1988 and is one of a number of races across the nation known colloquially as a "Turkey Trot." Proceeds from the race benefit Merrimack Valley Hospice and the Merrimack Valley YMCA.[3] Children ages 2 – 12 can participate in a shorter one kilometer race called The Kids K.[4] History1980sOn November 24, 1988 the first Feaster Five was held and approximately 300 runners finished the race. The first men's winner was Ken Pliska and Amy Legacki was the winner in the women's division.[4] The second race in 1989 almost did not happen because of an early nor'easter that deposited more than six inches of heavy wet snow on the course at the start of the race. Approximately 400 runners completed the race in near whiteout conditions. In 1990, apple pies were given out to all runners; a tradition that continues every year.[4] 1990sIn 1992, Johnny Kelley appeared as an honored guest at the start of the race. This was also the first year walkers were officially allowed into the race. In 1996, Lynn Jennings, the winner of the bronze medal in the 1992 Summer Olympics for the 10,000 meters, places first in the women's division. 2000sIn 2000, FRID timing was used for the first time to obtain a more accurate time for each runner.[4] In 2004, actor Matt Damon ran the race along with his father Kent. In 2005, women runner/walkers outnumbered men for the first time.[4] In 2009, more than 9,147 runner and walkers register for the race and the first ever women's Olympic marathon champion Joan Benoit Samuelson wins first place in the woman's division at the age of 52. 2010sIn 2011, Senator Scott Brown officially started the 24th Feaster Five Road Race.[5] Just before the start of the 2015 race, a small drone hit a tree branch near the start of the race and crashed into the crowd. The rotors of the drone injured two runners with small lacerations.[6] The 2017 race was the 30th anniversary and the first 9,000 entrants were guaranteed a hoodie-style race shirt. The youngest runner was one-year-old and the oldest was 93 with a total of 9,966 total entrants. Ruben Senca won the five mile race for the fifth time.[11] Due to record-setting cold weather, the 2018 race organizers were forced to cancel the five-mile race and the kid's run leaving only run the five kilometer race for all participants.[7] Of the 8,500 registered runners nearly 4,000 people took part in the race.[13] The 2018 race raised more than $75,000 for the five charitable partners.
