O Cleveland Turkey Trot é uma prova na manhã de Thanksgiving, realizada no Greenway Park, em Cleveland, Tennessee. Primeiro larga o 5K com chip, e logo depois vem a fun run/walk de 1-mile, sem cronometragem. Quem organiza é a Terra Running Company, e a inscrição no dia da prova fica aberta até pouco antes da largada. Isso atende tanto a galera que vai mais no clima do feriado quanto quem quer registrar tempo no 5K. O percurso do 5K larga e chega no Greenway Park. É um bate-volta seguindo para o sul pela Greenway em direção à Willow Street. O evento foi para o Greenway Park para comportar mais gente, já que em edições anteriores passou de 600 participantes. O percurso permite carrinhos e dogs, desde que larguem no fim do pelotão por causa dos corredores indo nos dois sentidos. Também rola arrecadação de alimentos para o Chattanooga Area Food Bank, com doações coletadas em Bradley County. A prova ainda mantém uma tradição local: quem se inscreve cedo recebe beanie hats, e o primeiro grupo a se registrar ganha sealed prize envelopes para abrir depois na Terra Running Company.
