Turkey Trot

TURKEY TROT

Run The Tradition!

The Hastings Family YMCA Turkey Trot is a fun, family-friendly Thanksgiving tradition that brings our community together to celebrate health, wellness, and giving back. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are invited to run or walk the course while supporting the YMCA's mission of strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

WELLNESS VILLAGE

New this year, we're excited to introduce the Wellness Village! Before and after the race, participants can explore booths hosted by local health, fitness, and wellness organizations offering health screenings, wellness resources, product samples, demonstrations, giveaways, and interactive activities. The Wellness Village is designed to connect our community with local businesses and organizations that promote healthy lifestyles while creating an even more engaging race-day experience for participants and spectators alike.

Whether you're racing for a personal best, walking with family and friends, or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere, the Hastings Family YMCA Turkey Trot offers a meaningful way to kick off the Thanksgiving holiday while supporting your local YMCA.

Team Edition: Race with your family/group to collect items for your Thanksgiving meal along the way!

Individual: Participate in our timed 5k race/walk (not collecting items)! Top runners will receive Thanksgiving sides to go with their meal and winners receive a free turkey! Winning categories will be top male and female 18 and under, and top male and female 19 and up.

Add the route on the Map My Run app here and follow along on your phone while you run!
