Every Thanksgiving
for the past 25 years, thousands of runners have
gathered in Bethesda to run in the Turkey Chase
in support of the YMCA's Youth and Family Services,
YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase and the B-CC Rotary Club
Foundation.
This year the Travel Channel, our Title Sponsor,
invites you and your family and friends to participate
in one of our three great races. Our USATF-certified
10k race and 2mile fun run/walk are open to the
entire family.
Last year we introduced the 50m Tot-Trot where kids
8 and under chase our Turkey mascot on our infield
track. Every child in the Tot Trot will win a prize.
Add food, music and a whole infield of entertainment
and you have a Thanksgiving tradition that appeals
to every generation while raising money for critical
social services in our community.
