About the Kaleidoscope's Cafe Turkey Trot 2026
The race starts and finishes at Kaleidoscope Cafe on Main Street in downtown Columbia, and it exists to support the cafe's vocational program for students of varying abilities. The surrounding block gives it a genuinely local feel, and both distance options are open to runners, walkers, and anyone who moves somewhere in between. Every entry goes toward the program's agriculture, arts, and job-training work.
