Thanksgiving Tradition on the Island

Catch That Tukey 5k

CTT5kRaceRoute

This is a fun fast 5k! Held annually the Sunday after Thanksgiving at 9:00 am this race features an MDI YMCA staff member dressed as a turkey who gets to start a bit before the pack and will finish mid-pack. Anyone who beats the turkey is entered to win a FABULOUS dessert on the spot from a local baker! This race is a fundraiser for the MDI YMCA whose mission is to ensure everyone can access membership and programming regardless of ability to pay. Thank you for supporting our work for the Island Community.
