Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot

The Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot is the largest Thanksgiving Day running event in the U.S., held annually at Dallas City Hall, 1500 Marilla Street. Established in 1967, it features timed and untimed 8-mile and 5K run/walk options, including youth and virtual participation. The event offers a festive atmosphere with a costume contest for participants and dogs, plus a Team Challenge for groups competing on combined times.

Runners can enjoy "The Roost," a pre- and post-race hospitality area with breakfast, snacks, beverages, and restrooms. The Turkey Trot is a beloved Dallas tradition, promoting fitness and community spirit on Thanksgiving morning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
