hagrin Falls Booster Club 5K Turkey Trot

Chagrin Falls Booster Club 5K Turkey Trot takes place in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. The event is a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m., organized by the local booster club, so entries go toward supporting school athletics in the community. It follows the traditional turkey trot format: a short, accessible morning run that runners and walkers of every level can fit in before the holiday meal.

Whether you are here for a hard effort or a casual jog, the distance works. If you are racing, the 9:00 a.m. start leaves time for a proper warm-up; run the first mile steady and use the second half to move up through the field. If you are new to the distance, six weeks of three run-walk sessions a week, building toward 30 minutes of continuous running, is enough preparation. Wear layers you can take off once you are warm, expect a cold wait at the start, and keep something dry to change into afterward.
