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 local families in need. The race takes place 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 nearby at Jefferson High School. Proceeds directly support the community food bank. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
