2026 Green Family YMCA Turkey Trot 5K and 1 Mile
About the race
Please join us on Thanksgiving morning for the Annual Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk and 1-Mile Fun Run in the City of Green. For the past 13 years, the Green Professionals Association (GPA) has presented the Turkey Trot; this year, it will be presented by the Green Family YMCA.
All proceeds from the Turkey Trot will benefit the Green Family YMCA community. Because of donations and support from the community, the Y is able to offer financial assistance to those who need it, so that everyone who wants to be a part of the Y can be, regardless of their ability to pay.
