Doug Opel's Run for the Kids

🏃‍♂️ Get Ready to Run, Gobble, and Give Back!

Join us Thanksgiving morning for the 49th Annual Y Doug Opel’s Run for the Kids — a festive tradition that brings families, friends, and flocks of all kinds together for a morning of movement, memories, and meaningful giving.

👪 Gather Your Crew!

Round up your crew and hit the starting line! Whether you're a family of five or a group of coworkers in matching turkey hats, we’ve got two special awards waiting for you:

• Family Flock Award: Gather your relatives and race as a unit! The more family members you sign up, the better your chances of snagging this coveted honor.
• Gobbler Gallop Award: Not racing with family? No problem! Rally your run club, work squad, or trivia team—any group with a fun connection—for a shot at this spirited award.

❤️ Why We Run

Every registration helps sponsor a local at-risk child in the YMCA Youth Sports Program. Lace up for a cause and make a difference in a kid's life.
