About The Camp Letts Turkey Chase
The Camp Letts Turkey Chase is a Running race in Edgewater, Maryland consisting of a 10K and 5K.
The Only 5k when the Mascot runs all the way!!!!
The Turkey Chase Charity Race at YMCA Camp Letts is a truly unique event in our region. Held on our beautiful wooded peninsula the event has something for everyone.
The free to enter mascot race allows you kids, and the big kid in you to race against our own Turkey, as well as local mascots from across the region.
The 5k is a family friendly event for runners and walkers of all abilities. Our Turkey is a Participant in the 5k so you will be able to see howKeep Reading your training has compared to his. The 10k is takes you off camp and onto the Beautiful Smithsonian property before returning to Camp Letts. Both events are now chip timed!!!
Every Participant in the 5k and 10k receives a T-shirt and souvenir finishers' medal.
So while other were putting turkeys in the oven or nestling on the couch, runners of all ages celebrate the spirit of giving at the YMCA Camp Letts Turkey Chase race! The Turkey Chase is our largest fundraiser and most buzzed about event every year! Each year we hold a 10Km and 5km race through our beautiful property with all proceeds helping to send deserving children and young adults to overnight and day camp programs here at Camp Letts.
