#OnThisDay In 1896, The first YMCA Turkey Trot is held. At inception, the race was run on dirt roads and only featured 6 runners. It proclaims to be the oldest continually running footrace in North America, even running during WWI, 1918 Flu Pandemic and 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, while other “vintage” races had periods of stoppage. It is still held every Thanksgiving.
Have you ever participated in the Turkey Trot? Have you ever gone to watch it?
