About the race
The Running of the Turkeys 5k is Roswell, Georgia’s Thanksgiving Day running tradition. Participants can choose in-person 5k Run/Walk or a 5K virtual option, with all live and virtual entries supporting charity (the event donates to Friends of Roswell Police). The live race routes along Canton Street in downtown Roswell, offering a real chip-timed 5k with overall and age-group awards.
The event is stroller-friendly and family-oriented, with a Turkey-themed giveaway and a tri-blend long-sleeve shirt for all participants, plus a “turkey hat” giveaway. Packet pickup is offered on multiple days at partner locations, and a host hotel is provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
