If you are from the Quad Cities, it\u2019s kind of an unspoken law that you can\u2019t enjoy your Thanksgiving feast until you\u2019ve earned it. And lucky for us the Scott County YMCA hosts their annual YMCA McCarthy Bush Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning so we can feel guilt free when we grab our third helping of turkey later that day.<\/p>\n

Celebrating it\u2019s 33rd annual event, Bettendorf Family YMCA Branch Executive Director and Turkey Trot Race Director, Luis Leal explains just how important the race is for the YMCA and the community. “All the proceeds of the event go back into the community by way of scholarships for swim lessons, Camp Abe Lincoln, day care and many more programs,\u201d said Leal. \u201cThis is our 33rd annual race and in that time, we have raised over $1.9 million dollars that have gone back into the community just from the Turkey Trot Race.\u201d<\/p>

With a 5k, 5-mile, 1 mile and Lil Turkey run offered this year as in year\u2019s past, a pre-race ZUMBA warm up party at 7:45am sponsored by Azteca Restaurants will be added to the list to help warm up runners race morning. In addition to that as part of the Turkey Trot, the YMCA is sponsoring local student athletes that want to run the race. They can email Leal at lleal@scottcountyfamilyy.org answering a few questions about running and community service.<\/p>\n

Predicting the weather on a race day in the fall can be nerve wrecking but Leal is confident that whatever Mother Nature decides to do that morning, the YMCA and the community will be ready for. \u201cThe response is greater than last year,\u201d explained Leal. \u201cHowever, it always comes down to the last week depending on the weather forecast. That being said, it’s such a great family and community tradition that good or bad weather, people still come out and support the cause.\u201d<\/p>\n
