Great Turkey Chase

The Great Turkey Chase 5K is an annual Thanksgiving Day running event held in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, benefiting the local organization ECHOS. The race features a 5K loop course through the streets of Elizabethtown, starting and ending at the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ church. A family-friendly atmosphere encourages participants to create Thanksgiving traditions, with a special "catch a stuffed turkey" contest awarding gift cards for turkey purchases.

There is also a Kids Run with no entry fee, offering shorter courses suitable for children. Participants registered by early November receive t-shirts, and all finishers earn medals. Additional contests include a family gathering competition and a costume contest celebrating Thanksgiving spirit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
