The YMCA Turkey Trot

The Turkey Trot is my favorite run of all time. You can either squish in up front and run hard and hang in the back and have fun. Either way, it's the 5,000 people at the end in the Convention Center all talking and seeing people they see once a year that makes this such a great get-together.

The turkey trot is a family tradition to kick off thanksgiving day! It's a great event and a fun run, although not one you may race seriously for a PR. The crowds in the beginning makes it tough to menouver, but the crowd also makes the event extra fun.

Great race as good course and the costumes that runners wear are fun to look at!!!

The Turkey Trot is a fun part of our Thanksgiving tradition. The race is extremely well organized and user friendly from registration, to packet pick-up to the finish line and refreshment in the Convention Center. The course through our beautiful city is lovely and manageable.The energy from 14,000 people gathered to run and walk 5 miles in 18 degree weather is hard to describe but not to be missed! There is no better way to kickoff Thanksgiving Day!
