Ward Parkway Thanksgiving Day Run

Ready to trot your way to an unforgettable Thanksgiving tradition? Join us for a family-friendly fun run with a choice of a 5k or 10k, and let's not forget the little ones with our un-timed Tiny Turkey Trot for kids 12 and under and a Mile run. This year we're introducing the Downhill Mile – a true test of speed to crown the fastest miler in the Midwest! Cross the finish line and earn not just bragging rights, but a cozy long sleeve thermal shirt, a 6” pie (yes, a delicious pie as your medal), and free photos to capture the moment. And if you love a little extra bling, you can opt for a traditional metal finisher medal too. Our tiny trotters aren't left out; they'll score a special cotton race shirt, their own finisher medal, a goodie bag, and a mini pie to enjoy! The main event kicks off with the Tiny Turkey Trot at 8:20 am – parents, you're invited to join the fun and run alongside your pint-sized participants!
