Race Information

This is the EARLY BIRD RACE...Saturday 11/18/2022 in Kennesaw.


We are excited to bring back our Turkey  Trot events for 2023!~  Guidelines will be the same as prior, please  note the specific dates in order to qualify for a complimentary race  entry!


If you haven't crossed under our finish  line this year...that's OK too...You can still come out and join  us...it's just $21, in-person or virtual.

5K, 10K, 15K or Half Marathon Distances
Virtual 5K, 10K, 15K, or Half Marathon available for only $21.

Swag available for purchase:  Awesome Shirts $20, Hoodies $25 & Finisher Medals available for just $7.50!


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, 2022 - Nov. 14, 2023, 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.  We ask you not to  congregate, and to maintain a safe distance from each other accordingly.

MS is something that is close to our hearts here at Five Star NTP, so this event will benefit The MS Center of Atlanta.

You can join in by either making a donation, or becoming a fundraiser  yourself.  Anyone who raises $200 or more will be refunded their entry  fee, and anyone who raises $500 or more will also receive a coupon for  $25 off any future race event.
