125th Running of the YMCA Turkey Trot – November 26
Since 1896 runners have competed in the cross-country race that has become today’s Turkey Trot. The race attracts serious runners, amateurs, and team competitors alike. The Turkey Trot is an 8k footrace which traditionally begins on Delaware Avenue, and continues into downtown Buffalo.
In light of today’s pandemic, YMCA Buffalo Niagara realizes this year’s event has to be different, but we still encourage you to join us for our milestone celebration of this amazing WNY holiday tradition! All registered participants will receive a 125th YMCA Turkey Trot t-shirt and face mask.
The impact of your participation extends far beyond the Thanksgiving holiday. As a Turkey Trotter, you are helping to support kids and families across Western New York both now and throughout the year ahead. All proceeds from the Turkey Trot help fund YMCA programs that empower youth, improve community health, and ensure access to all.

Join Our Walking or Running Group
Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, both walk and run groups at the store are on hold till further notice.
Join us Monday (walking) or Thursday (running) nights year-round for an evening of run, friendship and post-run social fun. All ability levels are welcome, and there is no charge. We vary the distances, usually 3 and 5 mile routes from the store for running and shorter for walking, and although the difficulty may vary, it is always a good time. We try to arrange shoe trials with brands like Saucony, Mizuno and Brooks throughout the summer running season. Ask us about our trail runs. Come on out, we’d love to see you.
