The Chocolate Turkey 3 Mile
About the race
Kick off your Thanksgiving with a 3 Mile Run or a 1 Mile Walk with Elite Community Outreach.
The 2026 Elite Chocolate Turkey 3 Mile Run & 1 Mile Walk is a new Thanksgiving Day tradition funding the next chapter of Elite Community Outreach. Teams of family and friends meet along the Riverfront on Thanksgiving morning to support Elite.
Run, walk, dance, or watch; all are welcome no matter how you participate. The Elite Holiday Choir will serenade the crowd, and plenty of chocolate will reward finishers, who can connect over hot cocoa and treats before heading home for holiday festivities.
Race swag and participant gifts
Participants receive a signature 2026 Elite Chocolate Turkey shirt, a 3.5oz chocolate turkey, and chocolate goodies after the race. Race swag is limited to 2300 participants.
Support without racing
If you cannot join on Thanksgiving Day, you can still make an impact by donating directly to Elite Community Outreach.
