Turkey Chase : Cary, NC

The Turkey Chase is a mixed in-person and virtual running event held in Cary, North Carolina, with race activity connected to William B. Umstead Start Park and RallyPoint Sports Grill in Harrison Square. Check-in and parking are located at RallyPoint Sports Grill. Participants are transported by bus to and from the race start and finish in Umstead Park.

The event offers multiple distance options and virtual alternatives. Finishers of the in-person 5K, 10K, and 13.1 events receive a Turkey Chase finishers medal and a knit hat or fleece warmer; shirts are available separately. The organizer lists monetary and age-group awards across several categories, with more than $8,500 in potential prizes, plus rewards tied to referrals and series points.

A "Kids in Strollers" option is available for parents to push small children in strollers; all children must be registered under their own name and birthdate and wear a race number. Several events are offered as virtual races, and an Ultra Series 65.5 combines multiple half marathon distances into a 65.5 mile total with combined finish times and additional awards.
