Ready. Set. TROT!

You’re invited to virtually join the Y 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 September 30th to beat the price increase.

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