Featuring a 5K road run, a 1-mile non-competitive family walk, and the spirited Little Gobbler Youth Dash, this gathering emphasizes community fellowship and holiday gratitude. The flat, sheltered course navigates paved fairground paths and quiet surrounding avenues, allowing entire families with strollers and dogs on leashes to participate comfortably together. Participants earn finisher medals, warm apple cider, pumpkin donut holes, and holiday photo keepsakes, while race entries directly support Delaware County hunger relief initiatives and local food pantries. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Exceptionally flat course along paved fairground lanes and wide asphalt thoroughfares, ideal for multi-child strollers and wagons. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Fairground exposition halls and main office facilities provide heated public family restrooms with baby-changing facilities. • Age Suitability: All ages; the Little Gobbler Dash is tailored for children ages 2 to 9, while the 1-mile walk caters to toddlers and grandparents. • Sensory Tips: Moderate crowd excitement near the start/finish barn; open agricultural fairgrounds offer wide, peaceful spaces away from speakers. ## Similar picks in Columbus - [Delaware Turkey Trot and Little Gobbler Kids Fun Run](https://grassyknees.com/columbus/activities/delaware-turkey-trot-and-little-gobbler-kids-fun-run--listing-21f5a50891199aa87a913b0a) — Thu, Nov 26 · 8:15 AM · Delaware County District Library – Delaware Main Library (East Winter Street) · All ages · From $17 · checked Oct 30.
