YMCA Turkey Trot Charity 5K at Weinberg Y (Baltimore City)

About this adventure

Baltimore City's premier Thanksgiving morning fitness tradition brings thousands of runners, walkers, strollers, and costumed trotters together at The Weinberg Y in Waverly. Held across a spirited 3.1-mile loop through historic North Baltimore neighborhoods, this uplifting community event raises essential funds for local family safety nets, including Y Fresh Mart food pantries, emergency meal programs, and youth development scholarships across Baltimore City. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully paved neighborhood streets; wide running lanes easily accommodate single and double jogging strollers (strollers start directly behind timed runner waves for safety). • Nursing & Rest Spots: Indoor family restrooms, diaper-changing facilities, and quiet nursing areas are available inside the Weinberg Y Family Center, open before and after the race. • Age Suitability: All ages welcome, from infants in jogging strollers to grandparents walking together; youth awards presented across age categories. • Sensory Tips: Pre-race announcements and starting music near the 33rd Street staging area can be loud; families sensitive to noise may prefer waiting near the Waverly library lawn or joining the back walk wave where music is softer.
