    Every Thanksgiving weekend, the YMCA hosts the annual Wishbone Run.
    The run takes place on the morning of Thanksgiving every year. (Hannah Diekman)

    Every year during Thanksgiving weekend, local citizens have participated in the Wishbone 1K, 2 mile, and 5K races.

    The St. Cloud YMCA runs this event every year, with the sponsors of CentraCare M Physicians Orthopedics (CCMPO), Scheels, EL-Jay Plumbing and Heating, Bernick’s, etc. This race is suitable for all ages with the variety of events offered.  Youth can participate in the “Little Turkey” 1K run/walk, young adults to elderly may participate in the 2 mile walk, and runners may run in the 5K race.

    This year the event takes place on November 23rd, 2023 or Thanksgiving morning.  The 1K event begins at 8:00 a.m., and the 2 mile and 5K starts at 8:15 a.m.

    The event costs $5 to register, including your race number, long-sleeve dry wick running shirt (before sizes run out), and medal if applicable. If you are interested in signing up for this event, use the YMCA website to register.
