Event overview
The Early Bird Turkey Trot takes place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, in Kennesaw, GA (200 Chastain Meadows Ct, 30144). The event offers in-person and virtual options. Organizers provide a free in-person 5K entry to participants who met the stated finish-line criteria during the qualifying period; others may register with a standard entry fee. The Georgia House Rabbit Society is the event charity partner.
Course, distances, entries and extras
The course is a 3.1-mile (5K) loop used for all distances so longer races are multiple laps. Organizers describe the route as generally flat but note some terrain due to the North Georgia setting. Water stations are placed about every 1.5 miles. Runners must maintain at least a 16 minute per mile pace.
