Early Bird Turkey Trot - Marietta, Georgia - Running

About The Early Bird Turkey Trot

The Early Bird Turkey Trot is a Running race in Marietta, Georgia consisting of a Half Marathon and 10K and 15K and 5K.

The Story:

Two weeks before Thanksgiving in 2011 we decided that we wanted to give back to all the participants who came out to race with us over the course of the year. Thanksgiving morning seemed to be the perfect time, and giving them a FREE race would be the perfect way to say thanks. We're continuing that tradition...If you've crossed under our finish line in any race from Dec. 1, 2016 - Nov. 25, 2017 you've earned yourself a FREE spot in any of the races.


If you haven't crossed under our finish line this year...that's OK too...You can still come out and join us.
