Dallas City Hall Turkey Trot to Harwood Brunch
Kick off Thanksgiving with the 59th annual Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot at City Hall Plaza, then head to Saint Ann in Harwood for a three-course holiday brunch.
Marilla Street to Harwood District
City Hall Plaza at Sunrise
Dallas City Hall at 1500 Marilla St hosts the 59th annual Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. Choose between the 8-mile and 5K courses, with wheelchair racers starting at 8:25 AM and timed runners departing at 8:30 AM. Entry runs $53.52 for timed waves through November 9, with fees directly supporting local YMCA programs. Register before the November 10 price bump to lock in current rates. Non-timed waves follow at 9:00 AM.
Patio Brunch in the Harwood District
Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar at 2501 N Harwood St sits about 1.5 miles north in the Harwood District. From 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Thanksgiving, the garden patio and restored historic schoolhouse serve a three-course holiday brunch priced at $60 for adults and $25 for children. Reservations open through OpenTable with credit card confirmation required. Book your table early before holiday seating closes. Free parking is available nearby.
Connecting Dallas Tradition and Table
This morning pairs civic energy with an unhurried sit-down feast. Thousands gather on Marilla Street to race through downtown before heading north into Harwood for seasonal brunch. The transit route is straightforward via DART light rail from the adjacent Convention Center station to West End, followed by a quick rideshare up Harwood. Transition from running shoes to midday dining across two Dallas institutions that define Thanksgiving morning.
