| It’s a big beautiful City out there and always something to be thankful for - especially the whole Keating Family who ran in memory of Bill Keating - standing with emcee-extraordinaire Mike Brown! |
 |
| Congratulations! Today is YOUR day to play! |
 |
| Love running. Love Cincinnati! |
 |
| When you fall in love with running, you fall in love with yourself. |
 |
| Thanksgiving in Cincinnati: Where everyone and everything feels right at home! |
 |
| And will you succeed? Yes you will indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed) |
 |
| Why fit in when you were born to stand out? |
 |
| The little things? Those little moments? They aren’t little! |
 |
| Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Everything! |
 |
| A good run can change everything! We must believe in ourselves and each other. John Barrett, CEO of Western & Southern, hands the trophy to the 2019 women’s winner Tina Muir. |
 |
Just in case no one told you today…your beautiful, strong, healthy and completely lovable! |
 |
| So you want to see great moments on Thanksgiving Day? Which one exactly? |
 |
This is how we do Thanksgiving in Cincinnati. Every road is a playground! |

Nothing says love like the
110th Western & Southern Thanksgiving Day 10k Run/Walk and Pepto Kids
Run. The Cincinnati family tradition for
thousands (and thousands) of people -
young, old, skinny, non-skinny, fit, fabulous
- is one of the oldest and most
popular races in the United States.
I am always profoundly
overwhelmed with the sense of warmth, connection, motivation and encouragement
that I see and feel as people gather around the starting line (before they
gather around a dinner table hours later).
It reminds me again - and again
- how life-changing this race event has become for many people from
here, from Ohio and from across the region and country. It has also had a profound effect on many
local charities, corporate sponsors and our beloved Cincinnati.
It’s quite a magical and
magnificent holiday celebration that can only be captured through
pictures.
We hope you enjoy this
photo essay and that you and your family will choose to rise and shine a little
earlier Thanksgiving Day morning to join all the other bold and brilliant,
brave and kind, confident and strong people in Cincinnati who
make the race run - all while supporting
the charities that help so many in our city!
After all, as with the
traditional Thanksgiving family dinner, there’s room for everyone. Register at thanksgivingdayrace.com.
