Don’t Forget Your TDR Gear!
Pella Recovery Zone
Once you cross the finish line, the celebration continues in the Pella Recovery Zone! Grab your swag bag, enjoy your favorite finish line hits from the DJ, and refuel with a banana and a beverage while you celebrate your big finish with other racers.
This year, there’s even more to toast! We’ve teamed up with Streetside Brewing to launch the first-ever Thanksgiving Day Race beer. Participants 21+ will find a tear-off tag on their race bib that can be redeemed for one free TDR beer after the race at the Carl and Martha Linder Plaza, located at the top of TQL Stadium’s grand staircase.

Brewed to Celebrate
Join us for an all-day celebration of our Thanksgiving Day Race beer, Oh The Humanity, a Hoppy American Wheat, brewed to celebrate the race and the many Greater Cincinnati nonprofit organizations that benefit from it each year!
The fun kicks off on Saturday, November 14 at 9am with a run alongside the Cincinnati BrewRunners run club. There’s no fee to participate; just bring your running shoes and join the fun! The taproom opens at 10 am, where you can enjoy Citra and CG Cascade hops in this refreshing American Wheat. The beer will also be available at the finish line of this year’s Thanksgiving Day Race for guests 21 and older, while supplies last.
Take home a draft or package of Oh The Humanity, and 10% of proceeds will support the Greater Cincinnati nonprofit organizations that benefit from the Thanksgiving Day Race.
