10th Annual Tampa YMCA Turkey Gobble 1 Mile & 5K Run

What is the Tampa YMCA Turkey Gobble Thanksgiving race?

The Turkey Gobble race takes place each year in Downtown Tampa. YMCA members, friends and neighbors sign up for a 1 mile run/walk & 5K. Participants and volunteers enjoy dressing like turkeys, the camaraderie, a chilly morning while toting strollers and dogs at the family-friendly Thanksgiving event! Special thank you to Advent Health, our title sponsor and Delta Airlines, our 1 mile presenting sponsor for helping us improve the lives of cancer survivors.
