Supporting a Vital Cause
Since 1991, the YMCA Turkey Trot has brought the Pittsburgh community together, fostering a spirit of gratitude and giving. Proceeds from this year’s event will support the YMCA food pantry programs and the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh has distributed approximately 80 tons of food since March 2020, reflecting its unwavering commitment to addressing food insecurity through strategic partnerships.
Race Perks & Participation Options
All participants will receive a stylish, long-sleeve hooded shirt as a keepsake of their participation. You can also purchase a commemorative medal to celebrate your achievement. For the more ambitious runners, the "Double Gobble" challenge, presented by Pietragallo Gordon Alfano Bosick & Raspanti, LLP, offers a special gift for those who complete both the 5-mile and 5K events.
Can’t make it in person? No problem! A virtual option is available, allowing you to be part of the fun from wherever you are.
Special Offers & Community Involvement
To encourage broader participation, organizers are offering a 50% discount on registration for participants aged 5 to 18. Children under four can register for free, making it easy for the whole family to join in the fun.
“We are thrilled to partner with the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh once again to deliver this beloved holiday tradition,” said Troy Schooley, CEO of P3R. “This event invites families to kick off their Thanksgiving with activity while making a meaningful impact on our community.”
