About this adventure
Celebrating over 55 years as the largest multi-distance Thanksgiving race in Texas, the Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot welcomes more than 25,000 runners, walkers, and families to Downtown Dallas. The race starts and finishes at Dallas City Hall Plaza on Marilla Street, offering scenic 5K and 8-mile courses through the downtown skyline, Deep Ellum, and the historic Bishop Arts vicinity. A special non-competitive 'Tot Trot' allows toddlers and young children under 6 to dash around the plaza. The wide, paved streets are completely stroller-friendly, with family zones, live music, costume contests, and photos with the giant inflatable turkey.
