Thanksgiving events with food

Of course, there are a lot of Thanksgiving events that include food.

And then you get to eat things made at the very farm!

What about more active Thanksgiving events in Hamilton?

Do you want to be more active? Are you looking to get in shape? Are you an active cyclist? Well, in that case, Cranksgiving is the perfect Thanksgiving event in Hamilton for you. It’s a part bicycle race, part scavenger hunt, all fun! You’ll burn off that excess gravy in no time. Plus, you can also take the time to donate to their food drive at the race, and do a good deed. And if you’re barely a biker, you don’t have to worry – all levels are welcome! You won’t be made to feel ashamed by a professional. This event is all in good fun! The race beings at 2 p.m., but sign-ups at at 1 p.m. Don’t forget to bring a lock for your bicycle, and at least some money in case of the munchies along the way.

Of course, if you want to be active but don’t want to cycle, there are other options. Like, for example, the Grand Caledonia half-marathon! You can run in the most scenic place around. Plus, you’ll get a delicious piece of pie as your prize upon finishing. Be aware that this is not a nut-free event, and so anyone with a nut allergy shouldn’t partake of the pie. As we all know, safety first! Oh, but the half-marathon isn’t all that Grand Caledonia has in store. Do you have little kids that enjoy racing? Well, maybe the li’l Pumpkin event is the one for them. Bring your li’l Pumpkins, ages 12 and under, and let them have a 1k race – they’ll get a pumpkin of their very own to decorate after the race! Don’t worry, the area they’re in is completely separated from traffic and danger.

What if you’re not a Hamilton resident?
