2024 Turkey Trot for Charity

Oct 31, 2024 08:38AM ● By Bernice Butler

The 57th annual Dallas Turkey Trot will be held on November 28, Thanksgiving Day, in downtown Dallas. Hosted by the nonprofit YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas, it is expected to attract thousands of participants, offering both an eight-mile race and a 5K fun run/walk for all ages and fitness levels. Proceeds support programs that foster youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Last fall, the race drew in nearly 18,000 runners and walkers, This year’s event will feature fun and entertainment for the whole family, including two costume contests—one for runners and one for dogs—and new for this year, a Diaper Dash for the youngest YMCA kids. Participants in the Diaper Dash will receive their own race onesie. Virtual and in-person participants will receive fun race swag in addition to a race T-shirt. Participants are invited to don festive attire such as turkey costumes or pilgrim hats, and celebrate the holiday with family, friends and neighbors.

To register, visit TheTrot.org. Both in-person and virtual participation options are offered. For more information, call 855-969-5515.
