Grand Marais Mayor Jay Arrowsmith-DeCoux spent part of his Thanksgiving holiday joining throngs of runners in Racine, Wisconsin in a 5-mile Turkey Trot race.
Arrowsmith-DeCoux finished in third place with a time of 31 minutes, averaging 6 minutes 12 seconds per mile.
“I had a pretty good race,” Arrowsmith-DeCoux said, adding that he hasn’t been putting in many miles lately.
The winner dipped under 30 minutes (29:58) and second place finished 30 seconds ahead of Jay.
“The second place finisher and I battled for most of the race. I haven’t been doing many miles lately, no speed work, and he got away from me near the end of the race,” said Arrowsmith-DeCoux.
GearJunkie has dubbed Jay the “Trail Running Mayor” for his many long distance trail running exploits.
