About this race
presented by First Solar
The annual Dave’s Turkey Chase 5K, presented by First Solar is the ideal Thanksgiving day family fun run/walk. With media sponsor WTOL 11 in Downtown Toledo, the event also includes a one mile walk, a kids run and a virtual option -- all to benefit Cherry Street Mission Ministries.
The 5K and 1 Mile events start outside the Glass City Center at Summit St./ Jefferson, heads past 5/3 Field, onto Huron St. passing by the Huntington Center and continues across Cherry St, then back onto Summit St. to the finish in front of Promenade Park.
