Powell Turkey Trot

Come and celebrate family, friends and fitness as we indulge in the beauty of Historic Downtown Powell while completing this 4-mile tree lined course. The Thanksgiving festivities will begin at Village Green Pavilion.

Each Thanksgiving we look for opportunities to give back. The Powell Turkey Trot is no exception. In addition to our book drive and making a financial donation to the A Kid Again organization, we will also be supporting the Olentangy Elementary School’s art program. Upon completion of the Wobble ‘Till You Gobble kids race the kids will be rewarded with a finely crafted award, created by our local elementary students.

We don’t drink wine and our mothers make the best pie. To show our appreciation for your attendance and in honor of your accomplishment, each participant 21 and over will receive a large bottle of Sideswipe Brewing’s tasty fall beer offerings.* Participants in the 4-miler under 21 will receive custom socks.

A Kid Again is an organization that fosters hope, happiness, and healing for families raising kids with life-threatening illness. They work year round to provide fun-filled adventures that allow children with life-threatening illnesses to feel like A Kid Again. We are happy to contribute to their goals; however, if you would like to volunteer, make a direct donation, or are in need of their assistance please visit their website: https://akidagain.org/

In our efforts to lace up for literacy, we will be collecting books and magazines this year that are in good used conditions for ages 1-17. All books and magazines collected will be donated to the Books for Bedtime charity. Books for Bedtime is a charity started here in Columbus, Ohio by an 11-year-old girl who took it among herself to help educate others. Please bring good condition books to packet pickup, or on race day.
