JOPLIN, Mo. — One of Joplin's most favored and highly attended Thanksgiving events saw another large turnout this year. Around 1,300 people gathered in downtown Joplin, Thursday morning, for the '11th Annual Joplin Turkey Trot'. Participants were able to run in a certified 5k race, and a 1-mile fun run for kids, starting and ending the race in front of City Hall. The Thanksgiving morning family tradition also serves as an annual fundraiser. 'It raises money for the Joplin Trails Coalition. So, all those that go out and enjoy walking those trails and loving the maintenance, we love to make a donation to them and we also took up donations for Chase The Chill.
