YMCA of the Iowa Mississippi Valley McCarthy-Bush Turkey Trot

The YMCA of the Iowa Mississippi Valley McCarthy-Bush Turkey Trot is an annual Thanksgiving morning event held in downtown Davenport, Iowa. Celebrating its 39th year, the race offers multiple distances including a kids race for ages 2-10, a 1-mile family fun run/walk, and chip-timed 5K and 5-mile run/walk races suitable for all ages and abilities. Participants receive a long-sleeve performance shirt, with guaranteed sizes for early registrants.

The event fosters a festive, community atmosphere and supports the YMCA. Awards are given for overall and age group winners, and an "Out of Town Trotter" option allows remote participation with race swag. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
