Granville Turkey Trot
Join us for the 20th annual Granville Turkey Trot taking place Thanksgiving morning!
Runners, walkers, friends and families of all ages have supported this great run through the streets of Granville all to support the Food Pantry Network of Licking County
As in past years, 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Food Pantry Network of Licking County, which works year-round to provide food and essentials to individuals and families in need across Licking County.
In 2024, the Granville Turkey Trot raised $131,000 for the Food Pantry Network and drew over 2,300 participants ranging in age from toddlers in strollers to seasoned runners in their 80s! Organizers hope to surpass that success in 2025 as the event celebrates its 20th anniversary.
The 5K begins at 9:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27th, starting and ending at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 107 E. Broadway, Granville. Participants can sign up online at the early-bird rate of $45 for ages 14+, $25 for ages 6–13, and free for children 5 and under. Dogs are also welcome to participate! Early registration closes October 31st.
“The Granville Turkey Trot has become a beloved Thanksgiving tradition—a chance for friends, families, and neighbors to run, eat, and nap! It’s amazing to see how this community has shown up for 19 years to make a difference for families in need. We’re really looking forward to celebrating the 20th!” said co-chairs Michelann Marlow and Michele Layman.
This community event is made possible by the generous support of local sponsors, volunteers, and the partnership between the Granville Recreation District, the Granville Turkey Trot Committee, and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Numerous area businesses also contribute to making the event a success each year.
