The Board of Public Safety approved a revised route for the annual Turkey Trot scheduled for Thanksgiving morning after organizers described the planned course and safety measures.

Speaker 7 said the route will include the high‑school track, the fairgrounds and a crossing of Highway 19, and that the group had contacted the police department. "They did say that an officer could be out there, in that spot, to patrol this," Speaker 7 said. Organizers told the board they will place volunteers at several points along the route and can reposition volunteers if an officer must leave for other duties.

Board members pressed organizers for more detail about volunteer placement and how larger participant numbers would be managed on city streets. Speaker 7 estimated about 20 runners and roughly 40 walkers, and emphasized that cross‑country teams typically finish quickly.

Speaker 2 moved to formalize the approval; the motion was seconded and the board voted to approve the Turkey Trot for the 2025 Thanksgiving holiday. Organizers will finalize operational details with the police department and city staff.
