Ruby C. Hunt YMCA Turkey Trot 5K and Fun Run
About this race
The Turkey Trot 5K is a family-favorite tradition that takes place on Thanksgiving morning before all of the festivities begin for the day. Be sure to bring your friends and family so that you can wobble before you gobble!
The 5K begins at the LYCC of Gardner-Webb University and the race route goes throughout the beautiful town of Boiling Springs. Running a race that matters this holiday season is what the Turkey Trot is all about; all proceeds from the race go to the YMCA's We Build People Scholarship Fund so that we can provide financial assistance to those in need so that they can have access to the YMCA. We can't wait to see you there!
Join fellow runners on November 26, 2026 for the Ruby C. Hunt YMCA Turkey Trot 5K and Fun Run. It's a fantastic 5K, 0.8K featuring a flat and fast course in Boiling Springs.
