Turkey Burner 5K

Turkey Burner 5K is an annual family-friendly event in Hinckley Township, Ohio, in Medina County, held on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. The 5K run and a 1-mile fun run both start at 9:00 a.m. The scenic course shows off the area's natural beauty, starting and finishing at the South Ball Field parking lot. Participants are encouraged to wear Thanksgiving-themed costumes and receive a long-sleeve shirt and a medal. The event promotes fitness and supports local community needs.

With a 5K for runners and a one-mile fun run for kids and walkers, the Turkey Burner is an easy way for the whole family to get moving before the holiday meal. The 5K suits first-timers as well as regular runners who want a scenic, low-pressure effort in a festive atmosphere. If you plan to push the pace, four to six weeks of consistent running with a weekly faster session will have you ready; otherwise, a few weeks of easy jogging is plenty for a comfortable 3.1 miles.
