Turkey was on the menu Thursday, but not before hundreds of  people turned out for the annual Issaquah Turkey Trot. The fun and casual 5K (3.12 miles) run on  Thanksgiving morning raised money for the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank.

There were no prizes, bibs, time chips, or numbers — just a fun outing for the community. Thanksgiving costumes and accessories were encouraged.

The event has grown in popularity over the years, with more and more money raised each year for the food bank. A total of $4,600 was raised in 2010; $8,000 in 2011; $27,000 in 2012 and $35,000 last year.
