Thanksgiving Tradition - YMCA Turkey Trot Is Here (Photo) - 11/27/24

Colorado Springs, CO — The 27th Annual YMCA Turkey Trot 5k race occurs on Thanksgiving morning, November 28th, 2024. The ever-popular Colorado Springs Thanksgiving Day tradition has more than 3,500 registrants ready to come out and kick start their Thanksgiving Day with a run or walk, and many are bringing their furry friends.  Registration is still open; visit ppymca.org/turkeytrot

The Turkey Trot is part of the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region's Annual 5K Race Series and takes place at the Briargate Family Y at 4025 Family Place, Colorado Springs. The 5K race starts at 9:00 a.m. and is stroller and dog-friendly. For the kids, the free Tiny Trot race kicks off just prior at 8:15 a.m.

A holiday season tradition, the race series raises needed funds for the YMCA programs. All proceeds help individuals and families in the Pikes Peak Region gain access to programs such as child care, swim lessons, and youth sports.

The Turkey Trot 5k is fun for the whole family, and costumes are encouraged. Registration is still open at ppymca.org/turkeytrot. The series' final race, the Jingle Jog 5K, occurs on December 14, 2024. Visit ppymca.org/jinglejog to register.
