Event summary

Get ready to kick off the holiday season with the Turkey Chase, hosted by Fit & Able Productions, Inc.! This exciting event will take place on Saturday, November 29th, 2025, at the scenic Cary, Wake, starting from William B. Umstead State Park. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking to enjoy some fresh air post-Thanksgiving feast, the Turkey Chase offers three fantastic race distances: a 5K, 10K, and a half marathon (13.1 miles). Join us for a fun-filled day that encourages participants to run, walk, roll, or stroll their way to the finish line!

This year, we’re aiming for 500 participantsβ€”both in-person and virtual! As an added incentive, one male and one female participant will win a free year of Fit & Able-owned races, worth nearly $1,000! Plus, all race finishers will receive a special medal and a knit hat or fleece warmer (guaranteed if registered by November 16th). With over $8,500 in awards up for grabs and exciting prizes for those who refer friends or race as a team, the Turkey Chase promises to be a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Don’t miss out

_BUT_ have you ever wanted to run an ultra-marathon without having to actually run an ultra-marahton? With the Ultra Series 65.5 you can do just that when you sign complete all five Fit & Able 13.1 races - _a combined total of 65.5 miles!_ - and we will combine your finish times for another extra set of awards!

All races will have a staggered start beginning at 8:30 AM in order of distance and the course closes for all races at 11:30 AM (IN-PERSON RACE DAY SCHEDULE [https://www.turkeychaserace.com/Race/TurkeyChase/Page-3]).
