About the Five Star Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Half Marathon
The Five Star Thanksgiving Turkey Trot is run on Thanksgiving morning in Johns Creek, Georgia, with 5K, 10K, 15K and half marathon distances that all start at 8:00 AM. Every distance uses the same 3.1-mile loop based at 3890 Johns Creek Parkway: the 10K is two laps, the 15K three, and the half marathon four laps plus a short additional section. The course is fairly flat, though the organizers note that nothing in north Georgia is completely flat. The races are electronically timed, and each distance also has a virtual option.
