While others were putting turkeys in the oven or nestled on the couch watching the Macy’s Day Parade, runners of all ages celebrate the spirit of giving at the YMCA Camp Letts Turkey Chase race!
Held on Thanksgiving morning, 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.
Turkey chase is truly a family event with activities for everyone throughout the morning. Have your picture taken with our Turkey at the Photo both, Kids can race against him in a Junior Dash, watch our mascot race before taking on the Turkey in The 5km run. That’s right ours is the only Race in the area where the Turkey takes part in the whole race!
Join us Thanksgiving morning to reconnect with camp, bond with friends and family and get a healthy start to the holiday season!
This annual event helps to raise funds to send kids to Camp!
