Columbus Turkey Trot

The Columbus Turkey Trot 2024

For over 30 years, Columbus has come out to run this annual Thanksgiving race, The Columbus Turkey Trot, recognized by Runner’s World Magazine as one of America’s “Best Hometown Favorite” holiday races!

Join in on Thursday, November, 28th, 2024!

There are three events: The 5-mile race, the 2.8-mile “walk n’ talk”… and the special “Dick’s Tot Trot” (a 100-yard dash) for children. EVERY participant of the 5-mile race and the 2.8-mile walk will receive a finisher’s medal; goody bag; chip timing; and a long-sleeved race shirt. Tiny Turkey Trotters participating in the Tot Trot receive a shirt, medal, and finish line treat! These Tiny Trot registrants may also walk or run for free with a parent who is a paid registrant for the adult events.

This fun, family-friendly race event benefits the Easterseals’ EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM which provides hands-on, comprehensive support to help the under-five set reach their full potential, regardless of challenges, needs, or disabilities.

Love to run or walk? The Columbus Turkey Trot is the race for you!

Packet pick-up: See the registration website for locations!

Families: Strollers and wheelchairs are allowed AND encouraged, they simply ask that those families with strollers and wheelchairs assemble at the back of the starting group so as not to trip up single runners and walkers. Bikes, scooters, skateboards, rollerblades, and skates are not allowed.
