The Delaware Turkey Trot is a family friendly 5k run/walk, with a 1.5 mile run/walk option.
There is also a little Gobbler race for ages 8 and under as well as a virtual option. It is held on Thanksgiving morning behind the Delaware County Library, main Delaware branch.
Each person receives a draw string bag, long sleeve shirt, finisher medal, and individual dessert.
Race for a cause - this event donates 100% of its proceeds to the Autism Society of Central Ohio (ASCO). We have donated over $200, 000 to date. So come create a great family Thanksgiving tradition.

Course Description:
Your race begins and ends on charming East Winter Street, near the library, passing by local favorites The Strand Theatre, 1808 and Mi Cerrito on your way to dash up historic Sandusky Street. Then it’s a smooth cruise down Wilmer before hitting an out-and-back stretch on Henry Street — a perfect place to find your rhythm. Then a unique crossing over the pedestrian bridge above Route 23, offering epic views and a fun change of pace. From there, it’s a final push down East Winter to the finish line celebration where it all began.
This the Thanksgiving Day tradition your family will look forward to every year!
Please note: portions of this course are coned down the middle, maintaining traffic patterns, so please be aware and stay inside the designed course. Sandusky Street from William to Wilmer will have the parking lane and one lane to run in (running on the far left lane). Additionally Winter Street from Lake St to Estelle St will be coned down the middle (runners on the right lane).
