About the Cincinnati Turkey Trot Half Marathon
All Community Events pairs this half marathon with a 5K and a kids' division, so the morning mixes goal-time runners with families walking the short distance. It has settled into the Thanksgiving-weekend slot on the Cincinnati calendar rather than competing with Thursday-morning trots.
Course
Start and finish sit at Otto Armleder Memorial Park on Wooster Pike, and the route stays on paved multi-use trail beside the Little Miami River. It is flat and repetitive rather than a tour of the city, which makes even splits easy to hold when the surface is dry.
Race-day weather
Late November in Cincinnati usually means a start in the 30s with damp air off the river. Frost and wet leaves on the trail matter more here than wind does on a course this flat.
