YMCA of Lincoln to Host 13th Annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day
The YMCA of Lincoln (YMCALincoln.org) Turkey Trot is returning for its 13th year! The Turkey Trot will be held on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, at Lincoln Memorial Park, located at 6800 S 14th St. This year’s family-friendly race will feature the option to participate in person or virtually (Trot at Home) in either a 1-Mile Fun Run or a 5K Race. Advanced registration is available online at YMCALincoln.org/turkeytrot through November 21, however turkey trotters can register as late as Thanksgiving morning on site.
“This race is about so much more than burning calories before a big meal—it’s an opportunity to bring the community together, to give thanks, and to help raise funds for those in need,” shared Karla Hudson, Turkey Trot coordinator and wellness director for the Cooper YMCA.
Proceeds from the Turkey Trot will go towards the YMCA Annual Fundraising Campaign-Strong Kids, which offers reduced rates for YMCA memberships, programs, and sports and camp fees to youth and families who otherwise would not be able to participate due to financial limitations. The YMCA will be following all Directed Health Measures as it relates to this year’s Turkey Trot. For event details including registration information, visit YMCALincoln.org/turkeytrot.
The YMCA of Lincoln has served the community for 150 years, promoting positive values through programs that build spirit, mind, and body for all. For more information, visit YMCALincoln.org.
