Katy Turkey Trot

Review of Katy YMCA 24th Annual Turkey Dash

This is a great option for a turkey trot if you live close to the Katy area. The path is flat, and it has a lot of participants! There are also a lot of fast runners in this one, so if you’re looking to be competitive, this is the perfect one.
