Join us the the 5th Annual Eye on the Pie Turkey Trot 5K! It is a chip-timed event held on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26th, in beautiful Groveport Park where runners will run 3 laps around a 1 mile course. Runners will receive a "I'm just here for the pie!" t-shirt and a whole pie of their choice – apple or pumpkin! Yummmm.... There will also be a live DJ on site this year! Come for the exercise! Come for the music and fun! But most of all, come for the pie!

WHAT: Join us for our 15th Annual 5K. The SG&B. Sausage Gravy and Biscuit 5K WHEN: Thanksgiving morning (November 26, 2026) at 9:00AM. Registration will start about 8:15. WHERE: 64 Letts Avenue Sunbury, Ohio 43074. 2011 we started this 5K at our home because we wanted to run a Turkey Trot, but we wanted to stay close to home and have it benefit our local community. The first year we had just a few friends (about 6 runners; more eaters than runners). In 2025 we were able to raise over $6000 in gift cards and cash that was donated to Angel Works. The 2026 SG&B proceeds will be donated to the Angel Works. Angel Works is a local organization that supports families fighting childhood cancer. Start your Thanksgiving morning with a jog, run, sprint or walk. Then after come in and enjoy a home cooked sausage gravy and biscuit breakfast with HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS! The Hatfield Home 64 Letts Ave Sunbury, Oh 43074 Entry Fee: As usual there is no entry fee. Like previous years we ask participants to donate gift cards, cash or check. We are still working through details of this years focus, but rest assured 100% of everything that is donated will go to a family or families in need. One aspect of live like Sid is keeping her memory alive by supporting people who are being impacted by cancer. Sidney would say GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, and we want others to know just how good GOD can be. This race is truly about exercise, food, family, and fun. Most importantly raising money for families in our community. Please feel free to share this event. It is for anyone who wants to participate. Please comment with the number of runners attending. You may also feel free to ask questions on the event page and we will try to get back right away. Remember this is an event for the family. You can walk or run. We will have the 5K or the 1 mile loop. IF YOU WANT TO COME AND ENJOY WATCHING OR JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN WITH THE REST OF US, COME ON AND WE WILL FEED YOU TOO!

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.
