This is another race in a series. It’s on a path, same course as the Spooky Sprint. The sweatshirt was different and decent. But other than that, it’s a poorly organized, boring race. The course is a walking path. There is little to no course support. It doesn’t start on time. I won’t run it again.
Great Venue

The Turkey Trot occurs everywhere. I enjoyed this one because Otto Armletter Park is a great launching point and the Little Miami Trail is well maintained and beautiful in the morning. I’ll keep doing this race as long as my body allows!
Nature, Lunken Airport, Parks

Nice flat run
Good run after thanksgiving. Paved trail and flat outside of Cincinnati. Great donuts at the end! Well run production with plenty of water stops. MORE

The course is mostly flat with a couple of small hills. Because it’s on the bike/running path around Lunken Airport, the course is a bit crowded until after the 5K turn-around.
Mostly flat out and back
Out and back, mostly flat course. Running around a small airport does allow the occasional landing/takeoff distraction. Awesome sweatshirt but overall not a very well organized race - understaffed. MORE

This race is fine, but it pales in comparison to everything the Flying Pig organization puts on. The National Anthem was a recording. The cinnamon rolls that everyone is excited about are served cold. Not a very exciting end to a cold race. The hoodie is fine, but definitely on the cheaper side, quality wise. The medal is super generic and was on a plain yellow ribbon. It stands out (not in a good way) from all of the Flying Pig produced race medals I’ve collected. The course is a flat sidewalk through a not very scenic park. This race is fine, but I doubt I’ll do it again in the future.
