Jefferson Turkey Can Run
The Turkey Can Run is an annual 5K race held on Thanksgiving Day in Jefferson, Georgia, hosted by First Baptist Church Jefferson. Now in its 17th year, this event benefits the FBC Jefferson Food Bank, which supports hundreds of families in Jackson County. The race takes runners through Historic Downtown Jefferson on a USA Track and Field certified course, serving as a qualifier for the AJC Peachtree Road Race.
Participants pay a $15 entry fee plus donate 15 canned food items. The event features awards across various age groups and categories, and parking is available at Jefferson High School nearby. Proceeds directly support the local food bank mission. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
