It’s been two weeks since 9,658 runners, onlookers, and plenty of costumed attendees headed to downtown Cleveland for Hermes Cleveland’s 44^th Annual Cleveland Turkey Trot, brought by CSU Rec Center and Viking Public House.

The runners’ times have been logged, the charitable donations have been tallied, and the fun and funky Thanksgiving Day costumes have been put away for another year.

Participants submitted their costumes for FreshWater’s Second Annual Turkey Trot Costume Contest, the readers voted for their favorite individual costume, group costumes, and pet costume.

It was a very close competition in all categories.

FreshWater readers have made their choices:

Best individual costume goes to the Gingerbread Man (we could catch you)!

Best group costume goes to the Garden Gnomes (Oh, gnome you didn’t)!

Best pet costume goes to Alfred (Gobble ‘til you wobble)!

FreshWater is contacting the winners to let them know how to contact Hermes Cleveland to pick up their FreshWater swag and gift baskets from CLE Urban Winery for the humans; and Alfred the Turkey’s owners can pick up special pup prizes, thanks to Lake Erie Pet Food and a gift from Hollywood Feed.

We praise everyone who got into the holiday spirit with costumes—every one of you looked great and added to the fun!
