About the Event

YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase and the Bethesda Chevy Chase Rotary are proud to invite you to the 44th Annual Turkey Chase Charity Race! Join the thousands of participants from Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and worldwide who’ve raised millions of dollars for kids in our community! Run, Walk, Swim, or Bike! Whether you want to participate in person or virtually, everyone can be a part of this 40+ year community tradition!

175 for 175 Challenge!

Raise $175. Change a Child's Future. In celebration of the YMCA's 175th anniversary, we're recruiting 175 champions to raise $175 each.

Every dollar supports YMCA programs that provide:

Safe places after school
Caring mentors
Health and wellness opportunities
Access for families who need financial assistance
