About the 15th Annual Seneca Valley Cross Country Turkey Chase 5K
The course runs through Graham Park on Thanksgiving morning, chip timed and certified. The terrain is flat with no real climbs, which makes it reasonable for anyone chasing a personal best or just shaking out the legs before dinner. The race supports the Seneca Valley Cross Country Boosters, and a food drive runs alongside it at bib pickup and on race morning.
Packet pickup happens at a local entertainment venue across several evenings before the race, with race-morning pickup available at the back of the park. Parking is spread across several lots near the sports fields and courts at the front of the park. If you park toward the back near the soccer fields, plan to stay until the bulk of runners have crossed the bridge.
