Turkey Chase Service Project

Annual Turkey Chase Service Project

On Thanksgiving Day, Pack 1461 will again provide Cub Scout and family member volunteers to pass out water and cheer the runners at this year's Turkey Chase. The race is the primary fundraiser for our local Rotary and the YMCA, both of which are important sponsors of our Pack. It's FUN to volunteer, so please bring the whole family and make sure the Cubs wear their uniforms!

A Great Event for a Great Cause

Turkey Chase has been taking place since 1982 in Bethesda, Maryland with participants coming from all over the United States with the highest concentration of runners from Bethesda and surrounding communities. Turkey Chase is the largest 10K in Montgomery County and the largest fundraiser for the YMCA and the BCC Rotary, raising over $1.5 million dollars since 1992. All of the net proceeds benefit youth and families in Montgomery County through YMCA programs and local Rotary charities. This event will draw over 10,000 individuals and families for a morning of healthy competition and a host of other engaging activities for children that promote community and personal wellness.
