Registration for the 59th Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot, presented by Texas Health opens on Monday, June 1, 2026. Mark your calendars! 📆

As 2025 comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to thank DART, That’s It Fruit Bars, TruMoo, Vitamin Water, Deep Ellum Foundation, and The Town Lake Co. for their in-kind donations during Turkey Trot.

Their generosity added to the Thanksgiving spirit!

"We are a family of 5 ranging from 13 years old supersonic speed to 52 years old serene glacial pace. We love the turkey costumes, positive energy, and thankful feast following the race. ---Alexandria

"The Turkey Trot has been a family tradition for years now. All of my siblings and myself are grown so it is one of the few years where we can all get together. We laugh, share stories, and give each other a hard time over anything. It is one of my favorite family traditions and it gets our Thanksgiving day off on the right foot. It is something that we will continue to do for as long as we live in Dallas. We love the Turkey Trot!!" ---Colin

❄️ Holiday break = perfect time to get kids moving! Bundle up and head outside for some joint-friendly fun or stay warm inside with a living room dance-off. Keeping kids active in cold weather helps their bodies stay strong — and burns off that cookie energy 🍪💪
