ABOUT BUFFALO YMCA TURKEY TROT TRAINING PLANS
The Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot has been run every year since 1896, giving it the title of America's oldest continuously run race. Today, it's also one of the most popular. In recent years, more than 14,000 people have gathered on the morning of Thanksgiving Day at the intersection of Delaware and Tacoma to run the Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot 8K. Custom Training Plans offers Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot training plans that include workouts that are customized to suit your current level of physical fitness and the Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot's straight, flat, and fast course.
The Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot’s course has just two turns – almost the entire 8K of the race runs straight down Delaware Avenue. These two turns and the quality of your training stand between you and the finish at Franklin and Niagara.

Our method
-
With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.
-
We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.
-
Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
