The YMCA of Lincoln (ymcalincoln.org) Turkey Trot is returning for its 14th year! The Turkey Trot will be held on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 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/turkeytrot22 through November 20, 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,” shared Karla Hudson, Turkey Trot coordinator and associate executive director for the Cooper YMCA. “It’s an opportunity to bring the community together, to give thanks, and to help raise funds so those in need can experience the Y.”
Proceeds from the Turkey Trot will go towards the YMCA annual fundraising campaign – Strong Kids, which offers reduced rates for YMCA memberships, programs, sports, and camp fees to youth and families who otherwise would not be able to participate due to financial limitations.
The YMCA of Lincoln has served the community for over 150 years, promoting positive values through programs that build spirit, mind, and body for all. For more information, visit YMCALincoln.org.
