Registration is Open for Gravy Chase 2025: Boone County’s Thanksgiving Morning Tradition

Sep 11, 2025

We couldn’t be more excited about this! Registration is now open for Gravy Chase 2025, our annual Thanksgiving morning run/walk benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County. The event takes place on Thursday, November 27, 2025, with courses starting in both Zionsville Main Street & Downtown Lebanon.

Participants can run, walk, or stroll the course with family and friends. Costumes and turkey hats encouraged. Proceeds directly support the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County’s mission to empower and inspire local youth through programs that foster academic success, healthy lifestyles, and character development.

“Gravy Chase is more than just a 5K, it’s a community tradition that brings families together for a fun, healthy start to Thanksgiving morning while also helping our kids,” said Eric Richards, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County. “We rely on the support of our community to keep this tradition going strong. Every registration, every step, and every sponsor helps us serve more youth and strengthen Boone County.”

Now in its 9th year, the event has grown into one of the county’s favorite holiday events. Last year, more than 3,700 participants joined the fun and helped raise $192,000 for youth programs. Organizers expect even more runners, walkers, and families this year.
