Chase Columbus Turkey Trot

NOTE: PACKET PICKUP ENDS WEDNESDAY AT 5PM AT COLUMBUS RUNNING COMPANY!

Welcome to the Chase Columbus Turkey Trot. We are delighted to present this annual family tradition and hope to see you this Thanksgiving morning.

Since 1986 Ultrafit-USA has been bringing you the original Columbus Turkey Trot.  Over the years, Chase and Easterseals have joined forces with us to bring you the very best Thanksgiving event in all of Central Ohio.  This event is all about fun, fitness, family and friends. Bring a smile and a camera!

When:  Thanksgiving Morning, November 24th @ 9am - Dick's "Tot Trot" 8:30am 

Where:  Shops on Lane Ave located at 1675 W Lane Ave, Columbus Ohio 43221

Race Options:  5 Miler - 2.6 Miler - Tot Trot (100 Yard Dash for kids under 12) Virtual Event - at your pace on your own time anytime on Thanksgiving.

5 MILE RACE-COURSE CHANGE: The Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines football game will be held on Saturday, November 26th. National media from across the country will be covering the action. Fox Sports and other media outlets from across the country will be setting up equipment and mobile units around the stadium. As a result, the 5-Mile race- course will run directly past the Ohio Stadium but not "around" the stadium as originally planned. Regardless, you will feel the energy and buildup of Saturday's clash of the titans!

Giving Back:  The Chase Columbus Turkey Trot has always been about giving back.  Our charitable partner, Easterseals of Central & Southeast Ohio benefits from your participation in this event. Easterseals’ purpose is to change the way the world defines and views disability by making profound, positive differences in people’s lives every day. They provide exceptional services, education, outreach, and advocacy so that people living with autism and other disabilities can live, learn, work and play in our communities. Easterseals offers a variety of services to help people address challenges and achieve personal milestones throughout their life.
