Franksgiving Day 5K

Franksgiving Day 5K is run in Canton, Ohio, on November 14, 2026. One format is on offer, a 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk starting at 9:30 a.m., which leaves the rest of the Saturday free and gives you time for a proper breakfast beforehand.

Mid-November 5Ks tend to be relaxed affairs with a broad range of paces, so you can race hard or treat it as a social outing without looking out of place either way. If you want a fast time, spend the three weeks beforehand adding one interval session, six repeats of 90 seconds hard with 90 seconds of jogging between, and keep the rest of your running easy. At a brisk walk, 3.1 miles takes about an hour.
