Hundreds Turned Up To Trot in 6th Annual Klassen Klassic Turkey Trot
Murphys, CA... A large crowd was on had bright and early Thanksgiving Morning for the 6th Annual Klassen Klassic Turkey Trot. What started as a small town morning jog on Thanksgiving morning, has turned into a Thanksgiving Tradition in Murphys. Brian Klassen, owner of Klassen Wines, started the run in 2006, "The group I run with decided we should start a Turkey Trot. The first year word spread and I couldn't believe about 40 people showed up," Brian's daughter, Sally, took the race to a new level when she made it her senior project in 2009. "That year we raised more money, got more publicity, more sponsorships and saw a lot more people show up," Klassen added....
