Katy YMCAs 24th Annual Turkey Dash

The tradition returns for its 24th year and it’s bigger than ever.

Grab your family, lace up your shoes, and be part of a Katy favorite:

1 Mile Family Walk/Run
1 Mile Kids Race (ages 3–12)
5K Timed Walk/Run
10K Timed Run

Every finisher earns a medal, because every step matters.

Make a morning of it at our Turkey Tailgate, featuring a fully equipped Kids Zone, local vendors, and interactive booths that bring the community together. Whether you're racing, cheering, or just soaking it all in, there’s something for everyone.

But this is more than a race.

When you participate in the 2026 YMCA Turkey Dash, you help create safer swimmers, stronger families, and a more connected community. Your support helps fund swim lessons that can save a child’s life, provide access to wellness programs for those who need it most, and ensure every family, regardless of income, has a place to belong.

Run for the fun. Stay for the impact.
