SIGN UP “The Turkey Trot’s legacy is founded in community, so involving the public in our signature t-shirt design through a contest was a natural fit,” said Curt Hazelbaker, president and CEO of YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas. “The Turkey Trot is a family tradition, and the way Dallas starts Thanksgiving. We’re excited to host this year’s event, bring people together and showcase this artist’s work in a unique way."
The 54th annual Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot will be held Nov. 25. Registration is open and participants can sign up online for the in-person or virtual events.
