About the 17th Annual Harmony for Ohio Foundation Turkey Trot 5k

The course starts and finishes in a high school parking lot, with registration inside the cafeteria beforehand. It runs on Thanksgiving morning, rain or snow included, so expect the kind of crowd that showed up specifically because the weather did not stop them.

Packet pickup opens in the high school cafeteria before the start. The race benefits the Harmony for Ohio Foundation, which supports organizations like Ronald McDonald House Charities, so the post-race feeling has a bit more weight to it than a typical local run.
