Die Broad Run Pkwy ist die Strecke für diesen jährlichen Straßenlauf: einfacher Asphalt, der eher eine Herbstkostüm-Stimmung hat als das verbissene Flair eines Clubrennens. Es ist ein "fun, Halloween-themed event", so ein Lauf, wo du an der Startlinie neben jemandem stehen kannst, der eine Top-Zeit jagt, und gleich daneben jemandem, der einfach nur passend zur Jahreszeit verkleidet ist. Das Coole ist die Mischung: Familien, Kinder, Erstläufer und Stamm-Racer – alle teilen das gleiche Halloween-Fieber, mit verschiedenen Optionen, die sich über den Vormittag verteilen. Dich erwartet Straßenlauf, ein Zielbereich-Gewusel aus Kostümen und verschwitzten Gesichtern und diese typische Oktober-Eigenheit, wo Lauf-Outfit und Verkleidungskiste einfach verschmelzen.

The Louisville Hungry Turkey 5K is a Thanksgiving Day 5K run/walk at Waterfront Park in Louisville, Kentucky. The start and finish are on the TurfMutt South Great Lawn, putting the race right by the Ohio River in one of the city’s main downtown park spaces. It is a local, live Turkey Trot rather than a long-distance race, so it works for runners, walkers, families, and people who want a short holiday event before the rest of the day starts. The race is tied into the larger Thankful Turkey 5K, which means Louisville finishers also get entered into a national virtual Turkey Trot with more than 50,000 runners and walkers. Participants can compare results on a national leaderboard and share race photos with the #ThankfulTurkeyRun hashtag. The finish-line extras are part of the appeal: bamboo donuts wait at the end, and participants can choose a performance fleece hoodie as their race item.

The Iroquois Hill Runners Thanksgiving Day Run takes place on Thanksgiving morning at Iroquois Park in Louisville, offering three run/walk options: 5 miles, 5K, and 1.25 miles. The starts are staggered, with the 5-miler beginning first, followed by the 5K, and then the short fun run/walk. This is a long-standing local tradition, now in its 45th year, designed for both competitive runners and families preparing for their holiday meal. The 5-miler is the main competitive event, offering cash prizes for the top male and female finishers, age-group awards in five-year categories, awards for the oldest participants, and a prize for the first stroller finisher. The shorter races are more relaxed, with no awards for the 5K or 1.25-mile events. The course utilizes Iroquois Park roads and paths; however, roadways remain open for golf course access, so runners are directed to use the pedestrian path on the park's backside. Costumes are encouraged, with participants often seen in turkey, pie, unicorn, or ugly sweater attire. The event also provides coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider, a long-sleeve shirt, random drawing prizes, and allows leashed pets to participate from the rear.

Registration requires five non-perishable food items, with donations benefiting Girls Inc. of Jackson Co., Provisions, Human Services, and Your Healthy Life Style.

Volunteers assist with the event, which is part of the larger Hot Chocolate Run series that encourages participants to train, compete, and then enjoy rewards at the finish.
