About Litehouse Family YMCA Turkey Trot 5k
Run for More Than the Finish Line!
Join us for the Litehouse Family YMCA Turkey Trot 5K, a fun and meaningful Thanksgiving tradition that gives back to our community! This scenic loop course takes runners and walkers through the beautiful wooded trails of the Wittenbach/Wege Center.
Every step makes an impact. Proceeds from the Turkey Trot support the Litehouse Family YMCA Annual Campaign, helping provide scholarships and financial assistance so that individuals and families in our community can access YMCA memberships, programs, youth sports, and other opportunities, regardless of their ability to pay.
When you participate in the Turkey Trot, you're not just crossing the finish line...you’re helping ensure that everyone has the opportunity to belong, grow, and reach their full potential at the Y.
Not a runner? No problem! Walkers are welcome, too! Strollers and pets are not recommended on the course.
Register by October 30 to guarantee your Turkey Trot T-shirt!
