Come join NBC 5 and the Westside YMCA this Thanksgiving, November 26, in celebrating the 34th annual Fort Worth YMCA Turkey Trot. This year the Turkey Trot includes a 5K, 10K, and a 1K fun run called the Gobbler. All proceeds benefit the scholarship/youth program of the Westside YMCA.
The Fort Worth YMCA Turkey Trot has become a Thanksgiving Day tradition as well as the Y’s largest event. With over 13,000 paying participants and thousands of cheering supporters, it is a sight to behold. There’s a party atmosphere with a live band, aerobic warm up, food court and balloons. Volunteers and runners converge in the heart of Fort Worth’s west side, the Ridglea neighborhood.
