Perry Hall Y Hosting Turkey Trot 5K For Thanksgiving 2017

PERRY HALL, MD — On your mark, get set...The second annual Turkey Trot 5K is planned to take place this Thanksgiving morning at the Y of Perry Hall. It is a rain or shine event, so before loading up on turkey, families can get outside and get moving.

Participants may walk or run the 3.1-mile course, which starts and ends at the Y on Ebenezer Road. Dogs are welcome, and pooches who register in advance get a complimentary bandanna. Strollers are also welcome.

Turkey Trot participants do not have to be current members of the Y. If not a member, registration grants a 30-day free membership.

Proceeds from the event go toward financial aid for youths who live at or below the poverty level. The Perry Hall Y is not the only one hosting a Turkey Trot. Locations participating are Arnold, Baltimore, Bel Air, the Eastern Shore, Ellicott City, Towson and Westminster.

People can sign up to race or volunteer in Perry Hall for the event, which is sponsored by the Y of Central Maryland.

The Perry Hall 5K Turkey Trot will be at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 23, at 4375 Ebenezer Road, Nottingham. Registration is from $5 to $42.

Get information about registration or volunteering online. Haven't registered yet? The Y of Perry Hall is hosting last-minute registration from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 22; and at 7 a.m. on race day.

Participants should arrive on Thanksgiving by 8 a.m.
