We are excited to bring back our Turkey Trot events for 2024!~ Guidelines will be the same as prior, please note the specific dates in order to qualify for a complimentary race entry!

Two weeks before Thanksgiving in 2011, we decided that we wanted to give back to all the participants who came out to race with us over the course of the year. Thanksgiving morning seemed to be the perfect time, and giving them a FREE race would be the perfect way to say thanks. We're continuing that tradition...If you've crossed under our finish line in any race from Dec. 1, 2023 - Nov. 14, 2024, you've earned yourself a FREE 5K spot in ONE of the in-person Turkey Trot races. (Please note the dates. Running one of our Turkey Trots last year does NOT qualify for a free entry.)
BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR...THE Early Bird Race. Everything will be the same as Thanksgiving Day, but we're letting you race on Saturday November 18th in Marietta/Kennesaw, if you want to.
THAT'S THIS RACE YOU ARE ABOUT TO REGISTER FOR!
*If you are feeling sick, please stay home.
MS is something that is close to our hearts here at Five Star NTP, so this event will benefit The MS Center of Atlanta.
