Every child who runs receives a race t-shirt and a medal. Strollers are allowed (families pushing them are asked to start near the back), only service animals may be on the course, and there are no refunds. Registration is through Race Roster, and the fee rises in steps the closer it gets to race day, with race-day sign-up the most expensive. Grown-ups who want to run too can enter the TDR 5K, which the organizers describe as open to runners and walkers of every age. ## Similar picks in Cincinnati - [Fort Thomas Turkey Trot 5k](https://grassyknees.com/cincinnati/activities/fort-thomas-turkey-trot-5k--listing-cefac56612b6f78e4db0ecb6) — Thu, Nov 26 · 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM · Mess Hall, Fort Thomas · checked Oct 14.
