The Western & Southern Thanksgiving Day Race is a historic, citywide road race in Cincinnati that marks the start of the Thanksgiving holiday. Its origins trace back to 1907, making it one of America’s oldest running traditions, and it draws thousands to the streets for a morning of racing and festive celebration at TQL Stadium. The event features two distances—the Western & Southern 10K and the Chick-fil-A 5K—plus a Kids Fun Run, underscoring its family‑friendly, community‑oriented spirit.
