About the Event

MedStar Health's 21st Annual CHS XC Turkey Trot is a time honored Catonsville tradition. A fun celebration of health, wellness, and family with a rich sense of community, our cross country style 1 mile family fun run (8:10am) and 5k (8:30am) offers something for everyone.  Both races are chip timed. Due to the nature of our course, strollers and pets are not allowed in either race. 

Our race is unique in that 100% of our proceeds go to the CHS Cross Country program, including the purchase of uniforms, training tools, and travel expenses, and the philanthropy causes we support.  When you participate in our race you are also giving back to your local community.  For a complete list of donations made, please visit www.CatonsvilleTurkeyTrot.com.
