The Dallas Turkey Trot (commonly branded the Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot after its chief beneficiary) is an annual turkey trot footrace over an 8.2 miles (13.2 km) course through the city of Dallas, Texas (USA). There is also a 5k fun run/walk. Participants may choose to register for the 5k as a timed or untimed runner.

The race attracts more than 25,000 harriers per year, with a record high of 36,820 in 2011.[1] [2] That year, the Turkey Trot set the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as turkeys, with 661 participants.[3]
