## About

A beloved Upper Arlington tradition for more than three decades, the Chase Columbus Turkey Trot 5K & Walk brings multi-generational families together on Thanksgiving morning along Lane Avenue. Benefiting Easterseals Central Ohio, this community event draws serious athletes, casual joggers, walking grandparents, and costumed youngsters donning festive turkey hats. The course winds past handsome tree-lined residential streets and university campus views before returning to celebratory finish lines. The popular Tot Trot 100-yard sprint gives younger children ages 8 and under a safe, joyful dash to earn custom medals. Finishers enjoy warm cider, pumpkin treats, upbeat holiday tunes, and commemorative long-sleeve apparel.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Highly stroller-friendly with flat, paved asphalt roadways and wide shopping center gathering plazas.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: The Shops on Lane Avenue indoor public spaces and heated race service facilities offer family restrooms and baby-changing amenities.
• Age Suitability: All generations; the Tot Trot accommodates toddlers and youth ages 8 and under.
• Sensory Tips: Upbeat finish-line announcements and cheers create high energy near the plaza; calm viewing zones line the residential miles.
