If you have recently moved to Columbus and have no idea what there is to do in town for Thanksgiving, then check out the Chase Columbus Turkey Trot. It is the number one Thanksgiving event in Columbus and has been a tradition for over 25 years.
The 2015 Chase Columbus Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot is scheduled for November 26th, and will be hosted by Whole Foods Market Upper Arlington at the Shops on Lane Avenue. If you have recently moved to Columbus, your Columbus movers can let you know exactly how to get to the location, or your neighbors will surely be attending and can lend you some information as well.
All proceeds of the event will go to benefit Easter Seals and the Make the First Five Count Program. Easter Seals provides services for those with disabilities or special needs and their families. Easter Seals’ Make the First Five Count Program is an advocacy and awareness campaign that is designed to help give children with disabilities and/or developmental delays with the necessary support in order to be successful in school and in their futures. Make the First Five Count educates families with children born with disabilities on the importance of the first five years of that child’s life, and how their development and aid during the first five years is crucial to their lifelong success.
On Thanksgiving morning, the Turkey Trot event will conduct a five-mile run and a 2.5 mile “walk and talk” through Upper Arlington and the OSU campus in order to raise money for Easter Seals and the Make the First Five Count Program. This is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to give back, make an impact in your new community, and give thanks after moving to Columbus.
