About the 2026 Northeast Family YMCA Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot
The main race follows a road course through the area around the Northeast YMCA branch in Louisville. The Kids Trot runs separately on a junior football field inside Lyndon Recreation Park, just behind the branch, where children are grouped by age and run distances scaled to match what they can handle. Strollers are welcome on the main course.
Packet pickup is hosted inside the Northeast YMCA branch the day before the race, running from morning through early evening. That is a good time to grab your bib and sort out any questions before race morning.

The 2026 Northeast Family YMCA Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2013. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
