YMCA Turkey Trot
Get Ready to Gobble Up Some Fun at the 131st Annual YMCA Turkey Trot!
Lace up those sneakers, because it's almost time for a Thanksgiving tradition like no other! We're talking about the 131st annual YMCA Turkey Trot, a super fun 8K (4.97 miles) road race that takes over the streets of Buffalo every Thanksgiving morning.
Get this: it's not just any race, it's the oldest consecutively run footrace in the ENTIRE WORLD! How cool is that? This November, we're celebrating its incredible 131st start, and you won't want to miss out on the history (and the hilarity!).
Join us in the celebration. Your participation helps to fuel the Y’s work to empower youth, promote healthy living, and build strong, thriving communities across Western New York.
