Leftover Run

Leftover Run is held in Dublin, Ohio, on Friday, November 27, 2026, with one distance: a 5K listed at 3.11 miles, starting at 9:00 a.m. Registration runs through RunSignup, and the single-format schedule means one start line and one field.

The name says what the day is for. Running 3.1 miles the morning after Thanksgiving is one of the easier ways to get moving again, and the distance is accessible whether you race regularly or have not pinned on a bib in years. Runners aiming for a fast time can treat it as a short, sharp effort at the end of the fall season, with a month of weekly interval work beforehand to prepare the legs. Anyone starting from scratch can build up with three easy runs a week and reach the finish comfortably. A 9:00 a.m. start leaves the rest of the day open.
