About the Eye on the Pie 5k Turkey Trot

The course runs a short loop inside Groveport Park, repeated a couple of times, so you pass the same crowd more than once. The terrain looks to be flat park ground, and the atmosphere leans heavily into the Thanksgiving theme, with a live DJ keeping things moving.

The big draw after crossing the finish is the pie. Runners choose between apple and pumpkin, whole pies, not slices, which makes the post-race scene in the park feel more like a holiday party than a typical race finish.

Common Questions About the Eye on the Pie 5k Turkey Trot

Will I finish last at the Eye on the Pie 5k Turkey Trot?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 40:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:21, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Eye on the Pie 5k Turkey Trot a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (120 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Eye on the Pie 5k Turkey Trot?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:43 while the median finisher took 40:51. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
