Gathering more than 14,000 runners, costumed trotters, walking grandparents, and stroller-pushing parents outside Paycor Stadium on The Banks, this legendary holiday kick-off crosses the Ohio River into Northern Kentucky across iconic suspension bridges before returning downtown. Families revel in the festive electric atmosphere featuring marching drumlines, Turkey mascots, warm spiced cider, and commemorative finisher medals. The dedicated ProAmpac Kids Fun Run gives children ages 10 and under their own celebratory dash down Mehring Way. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Strollers and jogging pushchairs are warmly welcomed on the course and line up within designated family corrals. The route follows wide, paved downtown boulevards and smooth bridge decks. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Paycor Stadium concourses, The Banks parking facilities, and Smale Riverfront pavilions feature heated family restrooms with clean baby-changing stations and quiet bench seating. • Age Suitability: All ages. The ProAmpac Kids Fun Run is specifically curated for youth ages 10 and under, with every participant receiving an official bib and finisher medal. • Sensory Tips: Pre-race staging along Elm Street and Mehring Way features celebratory music, cheer squads, and amplified start sirens. Families seeking a calmer start can assemble comfortably along the outer perimeter lawns of Smale Riverfront Park. ## Similar picks in Cincinnati - [ProAmpac Kids Fun Run at the Thanksgiving Day Race](https://grassyknees.com/cincinnati/activities/proampac-kids-fun-run-at-the-thanksgiving-day-race--listing-79f5c43d007323caa0395c71) — Thu, Nov 26 · 8:30 AM · TQL Stadium · From $25 · checked Oct 24.
