The Dayton Turkey Trot 5K starts and finishes on the track at Welcome Stadium, off South Edwin C. Moses Boulevard in Dayton, Ohio. It is a flat out-and-back route over city streets and paved paths along the Dayton riverfront, running north to West Stewart Street, south along South Patterson Boulevard to the Carillon Historical Park area, and back to the stadium. The 5K is held on the weekend after Thanksgiving, alongside the half marathon.
