Ready. Set. TROT!

You’re invited to virtually join the Y and title sponsor, CFG Bank, this Thanksgiving in for the Y Turkey Trot Charity 5K! 

Perfect for adults, teenagers, children, and even your pup, the Y Turkey Trot is more than a 5K. It’s a fun, healthy, family-friendly community event bursting with optimism and good vibes!

REGISTER by 11:59 pm on November 20 to beat the fee increase.

Whether you're continuing your Thanksgiving tradition or starting a new one, the Trot is a guaranteed way to get a healthy start to your day and do something good for your community. It also makes you feel better about the pie. Trust us.

Proceeds support the Y Open Doors fund enabling access and inclusion in healthy Y programs for all.
