33rd Annual YMCA Turkey Trot

33rd Annual YMCA Turkey Trot

Join us for our 33rd Year!!! The YMCA Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day tradition that attracts runners of all ages and abilities to Fredericksburg, VA each year. Run or walk the 5K course through scenic downtown Fredericksburg! Kids can get in on the fun by joining a parent in the 5K or running the 1-mile race. We are hoping to bring the Tot Trot back this year - stay tuned! The Tot Trot is a 1/4 Mile race for ages 5 and under will tentatively be held on Wednesday afternoon at 4pm, so the little ones can get their trot in that day. Registration for the Tot Trot will open in mid-June. Proceeds raised support Rappahannock Area YMCA programs that empower youth, improve community health, and ensure affordable access for all.
