Faith Mission Turkey Stampede
The Faith Mission Turkey Stampede in Elkhart, Indiana is a community Thanksgiving morning event presented by Adams Remco, Inc. It takes place on November 26, 2026 at 220 E Jackson Blvd and supports Faith Mission of Michiana; entry fees are used to help feed and house people in need while sponsors cover fixed event costs.
Distance options include:
- 10K Run
- 5K Run
- 5K Walk
- 1-Mile Walk
Courses are loop routes that pass through downtown Elkhart and the historic Strong Avenue neighborhood. The 10K follows most of the 5K course plus an extra mile around Strong Avenue and a lap in McNaughton Park that includes an incline. The 1-mile walk crosses a bridge to Island Park, returns under the finisher arch, and is described as an accessible course.
Timing and race features: running events use chip timing while the walks are not timed. All participants receive a finisher medal. Water and refreshments are available at the finish. Port-a-johns are located on Jackson near the starting corrals.
Logistics and participant guidelines: packet pickup is offered at multiple locations before race day and on race day in Elkhart. Shirts are optional for an additional fee. Corrals are used to spread participants by event, and the event allows costumes, strollers, and dogs on leash with appropriate care and vaccinations. Results are displayed on the event jumbotron and posted online. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
