Lancaster Turkey Day 5K/10K
The Lancaster Turkey Day 5K/10K is a running event on Thanksgiving morning. It starts and finishes at Forest Rose School, located at 1592 Granville Pike in Lancaster, Ohio.
The event supports the local non-profit Foundation Dinners, which serves over 2,500 meals a month with the help of volunteers. The race is a fundraiser for this organization.
Several race distances are offered:
- 5K (timed)
- 10K (timed)
- Kids Fun Run (with and without swag options)
- Virtual 5K and 10K options
Early registration fees are listed. For the 5K, timed entry costs $35 for ages 11 and over, and $25 for ages 10 and under. Prices increase on set dates. Registration before a mid-November deadline guarantees a T-shirt or hooded sweatshirt in the preferred size.
Participants receive a custom race bib, a chip-timed result, and a choice of one item such as a holiday-themed hat, tutu, T-shirt, or hooded sweatshirt. All registrants also receive a sweet treat, snacks, and refreshments. Age group award winners receive a custom medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
