CBI Turkey Trot

CBI Turkey Trot is run in Middletown, Ohio, on November 14, 2026. The event is a single 5K (3.1 miles) with a 10:00 a.m. start, late enough that you can drive in the same morning, park without a rush and still have time to warm up before the gun.

Turkey trots draw a wide range of paces, and a 5K is short enough that the front and the back of the field share the same course comfortably. If you are running for a time, the sensible approach is to cover the first mile a shade slower than goal pace and spend whatever is left over the final half mile. If you are walking it or bringing children, line up toward the back and treat the distance as a 45-minute outing rather than a race.
