Join the excitement at The Original Columbus Turkey Trot on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in the heart of Columbus, Franklin! This beloved Thanksgiving tradition invites families to come together for a morning filled with fun, fitness, and community spirit. Kicking off at 9 am, the event features a variety of race options, including a 5 Miler, a 2.6 Miler, and the adorable Dick's Sporting Goods "Tot Trot" for kids under 12, which starts at 8:30 am. Participants will receive fantastic swag, including a stylish 1/4 zip long sleeve shirt and a custom finisher's medal.

Not only will you enjoy a lively race experience, but you'll also be giving back to the community, as proceeds benefit Easterseals of Central and Southeast Ohio. Plus, don’t forget to bring along some unexpired canned goods and new winter clothing items to help keep local children warm this season. Whether you're running in person or participating virtually, this event is a wonderful way to kick off your Thanksgiving Day with family, friends, and a spirit of generosity. Mark your calendars and get ready for a memorable morning at the Shops on Lane Ave, located at 1675 W Lane
