Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the Peru Lions successfully completed their 46th annual John P Adams Memorial Turkey Trot. Over 500 people registered for the trot at the Peru Intermediate School on Thanksgiving Day to participate in the 5k and 10K runs. Many runners said of the event, “It’s a tradition”.All of the Lions Club’s efforts are supported by numerous volunteers and organizations throughout the area. The Peru NY Lions Club wishes to thank the following:

– Our sponsors who have supported us monetarily throughout the years and donors who made our raffle so successful.
– The Peru High School National Honor Society who assisted with checking in our participants in a smooth and quick fashion.
– The NY State Police and Clinton County Sheriff Department for traffic control.
– The Peru ambulance squad for being on standby.
– Peru Fire Department for manning street positions.
– Local media outlets who covered the race.
