Schuyler Bull, vice president and director of marketing and communications for Pioneer, spoke briefly about Pioneer becoming the race’s first Signature Sponsor and couldn’t resist throwing in a pun.
'We’ve been sponsoring the Troy Turkey Trot for 30 years, and when we were asked if we wanted to become a signature sponsor, we said of course. We just knew we had to ‘gobble up’ the chance,' Bull said.'
