Cornelia Masonic Lodge Gobble Gobble 5K Turkey Run & 1 Mile Fun Walk/Run

Cornelia Masonic Lodge Gobble Gobble 5K Turkey Run & 1 Mile Fun Walk/Run takes place in Mount Airy, Georgia, on November 7, 2026. Both events start together at 9:30 a.m.: the 5K over 3.1 miles, and a one-mile kids' run/walk, which means families finish within a reasonable window of each other rather than spending the morning waiting.

Turkey trots are traditionally low-pressure, and the late-morning start makes this one easy to reach if you are driving in. For the 5K, a month of running three or four times a week is enough for a first attempt, and anyone with a regular habit can simply show up. If you want to race it, warm up for 10 to 15 minutes beforehand and treat the first half mile as a controlled effort in a crowded field.
