MedStar Health's 22nd 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.   Awards:     Thanks to our gracious sponsors at State Fare, The Beaumont and El Guapo Cash prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place male and female finishers.  They also support gift card prizes in our age group categories.

A prediction run is entirely different from other races that you’ve run in the past. Rather than finishing first or running the fastest, the object of a prediction run is to finish as close to a certain time as possible. In the case of the Howard County Striders prediction runs, the goal is to finish as close to 11:00am as possible. One way the Striders prediction runs differ from many other runs is that you get to start whenever you want – whoever finishes closest to 11:00am wins. Oh, and one important thing, you CANNOT use any sort of timing device. Also, no baby strollers, iPods, headphones or animals. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Tripp Scholar Athlete Fund. The run is located at the Jeffers Hill Neighborhood Center, 6031 Tamar Drive, Columbia, MD 21045
