## About

Celebrating more than 34 years of Thanksgiving morning tradition in the City of Bridges, the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh Turkey Trot brings together over 10,000 runners, casual joggers, walking families, and joyful spectators outside PNC Park on the North Shore. Co-presented with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, every registration helps provide wholesome holiday meals to families in need across southwestern Pennsylvania. The event offers multiple options for every generation, from the competitive 5-mile and 5K runs across historic Pittsburgh bridges to the beloved 1-Mile Family Fun Run and MedExpress Kids Trot, featuring mascot appearances, costume contests, and warm cider.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Strollers, jogging wagons, and family pushchairs are warmly welcomed on the 1-Mile Family Fun Run and in the designated final corral waves of the 5K course. The scenic riverfront path and bridge roads are broad and fully paved.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: PNC Park concourses and adjacent North Shore riverfront facilities feature accessible heated public restrooms, family restrooms, and baby changing stations.
• Age Suitability: Welcoming all generations. Toddlers and infants glide in strollers for free, while young children love earning their commemorative finisher ribbon in the 1-Mile Fun Run.
• Sensory Tips: Pre-race staging along General Robinson and Federal Street features festive music, cheerful crowds, and energetic announcements. Calmer open-lawn spacing is readily available along the North Shore riverfront trail near the Roberto Clemente Bridge.
