🏃‍♂️ NEW RECORD ALERT! 🚨😂

We had a special competitor cross the finish line at last night's Buffalo Cross Country Meet… and he didn't even need a bib! 🏁👶

Meet Coach Goatly's son, just 18 months old and already a FINISHER! Dad may have helped him across the line, but we're counting it! 😉😂

Forget varsity, JV, and middle school divisions… we may need to add a Toddler Division! 🏆👟

🐕 WE DON'T MISS ANYTHING CROSSING THE FINISH LINE! 😂
At the East Carter Cross Country Meet, our camera caught this unexpected competitor making his way across the finish line! 🐕💨

No bib. No registration. Just a dog who apparently wanted a finish time! 🐾🏁

At ActNow Racing, every finisher counts — even the furry ones!

Accurate. Reliable. And apparently… dog-approved. 😂📸

Why the Branson Turkey Trot Has Become the Turkey Trot to Run
There are plenty of Turkey Trots around the Ozarks. But there is something different about waking up on Thanksgiving morning, heading to Branson Landing and seeing hundreds of people gathered along the waterfront, ready to start the holiday together.

That is what makes the Branson Turkey Trot more than just another 5K.
