Preparing for the Turkey Trot

Registration and Preparation

To participate in the Turkey Trot, runners must register in advance. Registration typically opens several weeks before the event and can be completed online or in-person at The Inner Path yoga and fitness studio. Runners are encouraged to arrive early to allow time for check-in and to get familiar with the course.

The History of the Turkey Trot

The Turkey Trot has been a staple in Atlanta’s charity running scene for over 20 years. The event was first held in 2001 by a group of local runners who wanted to create a fun and inclusive way to raise money for a good cause.

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.
