Oglebay Twinkle Trot 5k

Oglebay Twinkle Trot 5k takes place in Wheeling, West Virginia, on November 22, 2026. The single event is a 5K (3.1 miles) held at Oglebay, with an evening start at 6:00 PM.

An evening 5K in late November is a different kind of race: bring a layer for the start and reflective gear if you like to be seen after dark. The distance suits everyone, from families walking together to runners after a quick effort; a few weeks of regular running is all it takes, and if you plan to race it, add a couple of short interval sessions in the preceding month. Plan a light meal in the afternoon so you line up comfortable, and use the unusual start time as a chance to run a 5K in a setting you would not normally see.
