About the Five Star Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Half Marathon
Five Star NTP started this Thanksgiving race in 2011 as a free thank-you run for its year-round finishers, and that tradition still shapes the event: anyone who finished one of the organizer's races in the past year earns a free 5K entry. The half is the longest of four distances that all start together on Thanksgiving morning.
Course
The race is based on Johns Creek Parkway in Atlanta's northern suburbs, with all four distances starting at once. The opening miles are the most crowded of the day while the 5K and 10K fields sort themselves out, so half runners should not bank on a fast first split.
Race-day weather
Thanksgiving morning in north Georgia is usually crisp, with starts in the 30s or low 40s and dry, cool air. It is good racing weather more often than not, though a rainy front can change that quickly.
