SUMMARY:2025 Faith Mission Turkey Stampede presented by Adams Remco
DESCRIPTION:Michiana’s Thanksgiving Tradition is a community event to be shared with loved ones – family & friends. Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time to spend together – a time of gratitude for all we have! \nAn event on Thanksgiving morning? What? It’s a great way to get some fresh air\, “earn your pie” 🥧\, and do something for others at the same time. Every dime raised through your entry fees goes right to Faith Mission of Michiana to help feed and house those in need! (Sponsors cover fixed cost of the event) \nBe sure to ask around your work\, friends\, and people in your neighborhood – do they have something to do on Thanksgiving? Invite them to join you! \nThis is not intended to be an all morning activity\, just a great way to get some fresh air\, and be with others for this community fundraiser. \nPacket Pick up & Registration\nPick up your race packet before race day – avoid the line – you have double the packet pickup options this year so that can sleep in on race day. \nSOUTH BEND – Sunday\, November 23 from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm at TBD\nGOSHEN – Monday\, November 24 from 4:00pm – 7:00 pm at Goshen Brewing Company\, 315 W Washington\nMISHAWAKA – Tuesday\, November 25 from 4:00pm – 7:00 pm at Fleet Feet Mishawaka\, 3522 Grape Road\nELKHART – Wednesday\, November 26 from 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm at Elkhart Health & Aquatics\, 200 East Jackson\nRace Day- Thursday\, November 27 from 6:30 am – 8:15 am at Elkhart Health & Aquatics\, 200 East Jackson\nConvenient locations in South Bend\, Mishawaka\, Goshen\, and Elkhart – plan on picking up your packet before race day at a location near you. \n*Shirts will be ordered on 3 November 2025.
