Course Description
But the Turkey Trot isn’t just about running; it’s about giving back. The first Trot was held on Thanksgiving morning in 2011, when the organizers decided to express their gratitude to the runners who participated in their events throughout the year. This year’s event supports The MS Center of Atlanta, a cause close to the hearts of the organizers at Five Star NTP. Participants can contribute by making a donation or becoming a fundraiser. Raise $200 or more to receive a refund of your entry fee, and surpass $500 to earn a $25 coupon for any future race event.
