Catonsville High School XC Turkey Trot
The 22nd annual CHS XC Turkey Trot is a community cross-country event hosted at Catonsville High School, 421 Bloomsbury Avenue, Catonsville MD. It features two events:
- 5K Race
- 1 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk
All proceeds benefit the Catonsville High School Cross Country program for uniforms, training tools, travel expenses, and supported community philanthropy. Past community recipients include organizations such as We Run With You, Turn Around, Inc., and Back on My Feet.
Packet pickup is available at the Catonsville High School cafeteria in the back parking lot above the tennis courts. Restrooms are located inside the cafeteria. Parking is available by the cafeteria, at the front of the building, and in the parking lot off Valley Road.
Both events are chip timed; the timing chip is on the back of the race bib. Organizers advise pinning the bib to the outermost layer of clothing and not swapping bibs. The 5K course uses two similar loops with a different opening 400 meters and is marked with a solid white line; the 1 Mile course is a single loop marked with a dashed white line. Trail shoes or running shoes are recommended over cross-country spikes. Dogs and strollers are not permitted on the course. MedStar Health will provide on-site race medical support.
Post-race awards and a raffle take place in the cafeteria. Race shirts are distributed on a first registered, first served basis. Official results are posted online through M&D Timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
