The Hickory Foundation YMCA Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving-season race morning based at the Hickory Foundation YMCA in Hickory, North Carolina. Runners can choose a 5K or 10K, and kids have their own Youth Fun Run before the main races start. The event is in its 24th running and keeps a practical, community-race feel, with team packet pickup, individual packet pickup, and race-day registration handled at the nearby C.O. Miller Teen Center. The Youth Fun Run goes first at 8:15 a.m., followed by the 10K at 9:00 and the 5K a few minutes later. All participants have a 1 hour 30 minute cutoff, so the setup is friendly to walkers and casual runners but still organized around a clear morning schedule. Entry fees and donations support the YMCA’s local programs for healthy spirit, mind, and body, with the stated goal of strengthening the Hickory community.
