This year, the 13th annual Turkey Trot will take place on Thanksgiving Monday, October 14th.

 Our event has always been dedicated to creating a family-friendly atmosphere while supporting the YMCA Strong Communities Campaign. This campaign helps children, teens, adults, and seniors in our community by removing financial barriers to essential services.

 The Turkey Trot can be enjoyed by everyone from seasoned runners to those looking to have a bit of fun outside while walking in a park setting. People can race in The Gobbler 5K run for a chance to win a turkey! People can choose to run or walk the 2.5K version of The Gobbler to win a pie. The Wingding 1K Kids’ Fun Run has a fun surprise for each participant. The Gobble Wobble Search is fun for the 4-year-old and under crowd and is a hoot to watch.  And new this year is a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure” category where you can choose how you celebrate the Turkey Trot.

 The Turkey Trot provides a fun experience while raising crucial funds for the YMCA, enabling them to continue their important work with individuals and families. We invite everyone to join the celebration and show your Turkey Spirit in various ways. If you’re interested in participating but face any barriers, please contact us—we’re here to help ensure everyone can be included.

 Participants not only get to enjoy a great time and support the community, but you also have the chance to win fantastic prizes through random drawings. Put some turkey fun into your run or walk and compete for the Golden Drumstick trophy and prize.
