Gainesville Turkey Trot Half Marathon

The 16th Annual Gainesville Turkey Trot Half Marathon, held in Gainesville, GA, is a festive Thanksgiving morning event featuring a half marathon, 10K, and 5K races. Starting at Riverside Preparatory Academy, the half marathon offers a challenging, hilly course completed in three loops with self-serve aid stations. The 5K is an out-and-back loop, while the 10K consists of two loops of the 5K course.

The event is family-friendly, allowing strollers and well-behaved dogs. Participants receive a soft garment-dyed hoodie (with early registration) and half marathon finishers earn medals. Runners are encouraged to bring canned goods to support local charity, creating a fun and charitable atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
