Early Bird Turkey Trot Half Marathon

The Early Bird Turkey Trot is a multi-distance running event in the Marietta/Kennesaw area of Georgia, hosted by Five Star NTP. It offers a Half Marathon along with 5K, 10K, 15K and virtual options, typically held the weekend before Thanksgiving. The course uses a 3.1‑mile loop for the shorter distances, with additional loops for longer races, making it easy for families to run together while spectators see participants multiple times.

The event emphasizes a community, festival atmosphere, with optional swag like long-sleeve shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals for purchase. It also promotes championships qualification and supports a local charity partner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
