The History of the Turkey Trot

The Turkey Trot has been a staple in Atlanta’s charity running scene for over 20 years. Its origins date back to 1999, when a group of local runners decided to organize a fun run to raise money for a local youth academy. The event was initially called the “Turkey Trot 5K” and was designed to be a low-key, family-friendly activity. Over the years, the event has grown in popularity and size, but its core mission remains the same: to support a local charity and bring the community together.

The Event Format

The Turkey Trot typically takes place in early December, with the exact date varying from year to year.

Participants can choose from a 2-mile route or a 5-mile course starting outside the yoga studio at 206 Smith St. in LaGrange at 7 a.m. on Thanksgiving.
