Faith Mission Turkey Stampede
The Faith Mission Turkey Stampede is scheduled for Thursday, November 26, 2026, at Beacon (Elkhart Health & Aquatics), 200 East Jackson, Elkhart, Indiana. The event offers multiple distance options and on-site amenities described below.
Distances
- 10K timed entry
- 5K timed entry
- One mile walk not timed
Packet pickup and registration are available at several locations in the days before the event: Howard Park Meeting Rooms in South Bend, Goshen Brewery in Goshen, Fleet Feet Mishawaka, and at Elkhart Health & Aquatics. There is also limited packet pickup on race morning at Elkhart Health & Aquatics.
Entry details note that shirts are optional for an additional fee of $15. Shirt options include a long sleeve performance style or a short sleeve cotton-rayon-poly blend.
The venue serves as the event base. The race will use a chip start so official time begins when a participant crosses the timing mat. The start is signaled by a countdown on a large screen rather than a starter pistol. Course signage and pace signs are used to organize runners.
All finishers receive a finisher medal handed out past the refreshment area. There is no formal awards ceremony. Top three male and female finishers in the 10K and 5K receive a gravy boat. A small cash prize is offered for the first male and female to catch the costumed turkey participant in the 5K; catching is run on an honor system and participants are asked not to touch the costumed participant.
Race results display on the event Monster Message jumbotron and are available via the timing service. Finish line video clips are provided for participants and results can be sent by text if that option is selected. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
