About the Waynesboro Family YMCA Turkey Trot
This is a Thanksgiving morning race held at the Waynesboro Family YMCA, so the start and finish are both right there at the Y. The course has no water stop along the way, but Tropical Smoothie samples are waiting at the finish line. Strollers and dogs are welcome, with a request to line up toward the back for safety.
Packet pickup happens the two evenings before the race at the YMCA, and there is no race-morning pickup or registration. Plan ahead, because registration closes the evening before Thanksgiving. The race is dedicated to the memory of Dick Meador.

The Waynesboro Family YMCA Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2016. 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 18, 2026.
