Clinton for a sight we haven't seen too much of this year......a road race.

Here's news channel two's gary liberatore.

Its been a tough year for us americans but maybe more so for runners used to taking part in races... (russ stevener, runner) .

None .

None tc : 36:40 "its just nice to be able to get out with everything going on, not a lot of races this year so we found one and its a nice day for it so we figured we come out and get some exercise and enjoy yourselves."

The clinton 5-k jingle jog...has become a thanksgiving weekend tradition...quickly for many here in the clinton area...now in just its 3rd year.... (jackie laflair, runner) tc : 37:50 "im out here today with my dad, were looking forward to spending some time together and starting off the holidays with this run."

Something these 150 runners and race director...didn't think would actually happen... (mary lisa nolan, race director) tc : 34:05 "in so many ways, where do we start.

Just to get it approved we had to jump through many many hoops.

We kept pushing and pushing because we felt it was becoming now third year tradition for so many families during the holidays."

Instead of evryone runing at once...there were five waves...of 30 runners each...going off every 15 mintes... tc :34:58 "this year there will be no after celebration but people understand that.

Theyre just happy to be out here running a live race.

Weve done virtual for many months now and its nice to actually see people even if its just our eyes."

Tc : and if these eyes could talk...they may be saying thank you, thank you, thank you.
