Dayton Turkey Trot Half Marathon
Sunday December 1, 2019
The Dayton Turkey Trot is part of a series of Thanksgiving races that have joined together to create the World’s Largest Thanksgiving running festival: the American Turkey Tradition, an event sponsored by OhioRuns.com.
The Dayton Turkey Trot race takes place the Sunday after Thanksgiving and includes both a 5k and Half Marathon, with races starting at 8:45 at the UD Stadium.
This is one of just a handful of races I have run 4 years in a row, the last three of those races serving as a race Pacer for the Half Marathon. This year as my first time pacing 2:10 in the Half, along with fellow Pacer Paul Pikman, I finished in 2:09:28.
As a Pacer I had the joy of helping to pace and encourage another fellow runner Lydia to a PR.
This years swag included an amazing soft warm black fleece turkey trot hoodie.
Finishers also received a medal, and Bill’s Donuts at the finish line.
