🦃 The 42nd Annual Moritz Fort Worth YMCA Turkey Trot presented by Texas Health was a huge success! Ten thousand eager trotters gathered on Thanksgiving morning at our new location, The Shops at Clearfork, for a day filled with fitness, laughter, and fun. 🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

From the lively kids zone, VIP area, interactive sponsor tents, turkey costumes and the unveiling of our new YMCA Motus Fit, we hope runners and participants enjoyed the beautiful morning and left ready to celebrate the holiday.

This year's Trot was made possible with the help of our sponsors, volunteers and community. Thank you for supporting the YMCA and spending your Thanksgiving morning with us – we’ll see you next year! 🥇🎉
