The 2024 Elite Chocolate Turkey 3 Mile Run & 1 Mile Walk is a new Thanksgiving Day tradition funding the next chapter of Elite Community Outreach. Let’s team up with family and friends along the Riverfront on Thanksgiving morning to support Elite!

Run, walk, dance, or watch; all are welcome no matter how you participate. The Elite Chocolate Turkey is all about being together and giving thanks as a community while supporting our future. The Elite Holiday Choir will serenade us into the season and plenty of chocolate will reward us at the finish line, where participants can connect over hot cocoa and treats before heading home for holiday festivities.

Be sure to register soon to secure your signature 2024 Elite Chocolate Turkey shirt, 3.5oz chocolate turkey, and best of all – some chocolate goodies after the race! If you can’t join us Thanksgiving Day, you can still make an impact by donating directly to Elite via the DONATE button.

Let’s kick off a new holiday tradition together as we give thanks for one another and invest in a better future. Join us for the 2024 Elite Chocolate Turkey and help Elite Community Outreach pave more paths out of poverty and instill even more hope for our community.
