THANKSGIVING DAY - Catch that Turkey 5K
Join the MDI YMCA on Thanksgiving Day for it's annual Turkey Trot lovingly dubbed: Catch That Turkey. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to catch the turkey. What . . . or who is the turkey? One brave Y staff member is the turkey. If you, as a runner, can finish the race before the turkey, your name will be placed in a drawing for a prize. 2017's prize was a cake from Bartlett Bakery in Bar Harbor, ME. So come on out before your feasts and catch that turkey!
All proceeds go to the MDI YMCA to help provide scholarships for programs and memberships to those in the community who might not otherwise be able to enjoy the benefits of the YMCA.
Thank you to local business Coston and McIsaac for sponsoring the race!

Online Registration is $20. There will be no "day of" registrations this year (2020) due to COVID-19. As this is a fundraiser for the MDI YMCA there will be no refunds.
