Taking place at the state-of-the-art Community Resource Center on South Waterloo Road, this annual gathering features a paved 5K run and an unhurried 1-Mile Family Stroll along neighborhood sidewalks. Children can participate in hands-on gratitude activities, decorating holiday donation collection boxes, crafting Thanksgiving cards for local senior centers, and touring the impressive warehouse facilities. Complimentary warm apple cider and pumpkin spiced donut holes await participants at the finish pavilion, fostering a meaningful tradition of shared community compassion before holiday feasts begin. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: The entire walking and running route follows flat, paved pedestrian sidewalks and spacious campus pathways suitable for any standard stroller. • Nursing & Rest Spots: The Community Resource Center offers heated indoor waiting lobbies, modern accessible family restrooms, and comfortable quiet seating areas. • Age Suitability: Perfect for toddlers through grandparents, with the 1-Mile course designed for unhurried little footsteps and family wagons. • Sensory Tips: Cheerful acoustic folk music and gentle megaphone announcements at the outdoor starting arch; indoor areas remain low-key and peaceful. ## Similar picks in Cleveland - [Cleveland Turkey Trot & Kids Fun Run](https://grassyknees.com/cleveland/activities/cleveland-turkey-trot-and-kids-fun-run--listing-15df9d0013cc331ac9bd1ca7) — Thu, Nov 26 · 7:30 AM · Cleveland Public Hall & Mall B · All ages · From $20 · checked Nov 5.
