Runner Disqualified at Troy Turkey Trot
November 28, 2022
Thursday's Turkey Trot saw thousands of runners for the 10k. And it's getting some attention, of course not for the reason it should.
A video from the finish line has gone viral. It shows two runners neck and neck for 4th place. In the video, it appears one runner hits the other in effort to get to the finish line first.
Xavier Salvador of Washington, D.C. has now been disqualified and Jack Huber of Delmar took his fourth place win.
A local journalist caught the now viral incident.
