Jefferson Turkey Can Run

The Turkey Can Run is an annual 5K race organized by First Baptist Church Jefferson, taking place on Thanksgiving Day. Now in its 17th year, the event aims to support the FBC Jefferson Food Bank, which serves hundreds of families in Jackson County. This race is notable as the only Peachtree Road Race qualifier in the county and is the largest 5K event in the area.

Participants are encouraged to register early, with an entry fee of $15 plus 15 canned food items. The event promotes community involvement and aims to raise awareness and support for those in need. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
