Ruby C. Hunt YMCA Turkey Trot 5K and Fun Run 2026

The Ruby C. Hunt YMCA Turkey Trot 5K and Fun Run is a Thanksgiving morning race in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, designed for families to be active before the holiday meal. The primary event is a 5K run or walk, complemented by a kids’ half-mile fun run for younger participants and a Phantom Runner option for those wishing to support the event without running the course. The 5K begins at the LYCC of Gardner-Webb University and proceeds through Boiling Springs. Proceeds benefit the YMCA’s We Build People Scholarship Fund, assisting individuals needing financial aid to access YMCA programs.
