About the event
Get Ready to Gobble Up Some Fun at the 131st Annual YMCA Turkey Trot!
Lace up those sneakers, because it's almost time for a Thanksgiving tradition like no other! We're talking about the 131st annual YMCA Turkey Trot, a super fun 8K (4.97 miles) road race that takes over the streets of Buffalo every Thanksgiving morning.
Get this: it's not just any race, it's the oldest consecutively run footrace in the ENTIRE WORLD! How cool is that? This November, we're celebrating its incredible 131st start, and you won't want to miss out on the history (and the hilarity!).
Join us in the celebration. Your participation helps to fuel the Y’s work to empower youth, promote healthy living, and build strong, thriving communities across Western New York.

About Buffalo
Learn more about the host city, Buffalo.
The largest city in New York State's Niagara Frontier, Buffalo is a city full of surprises. Though Buffalo is sometimes the butt of jokes about chicken wings, its long-suffering sports teams, and the mountains of snow under which it is supposedly buried each winter, those in the know tell a different story: one of vibrant nightlife, world-class museums and cultural attractions, tight-knit neighborhoods with strong community spirit – and the sunniest summers in Northeastern United States.
