Semi-Marathon de Thanksgiving - Atlanta

Atlanta Thanksgiving Half Marathon takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 22, 2026, with two road distances: a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles). Organized by the Atlanta Track Club, the event follows a city course that passes through public parks and along some of Atlanta's wide avenues, a typically urban layout for a big-city race.

A Thanksgiving-week half marathon is a natural finish line for a fall training cycle. Atlanta is known among runners for its hills, so if you are targeting a time over 13.1 miles, include some rolling terrain in your long runs during a 12-week build. The 5K is the easier entry point and a good option if you want to run with family or friends who are not training for the longer distance. Either way, the late-November timing usually brings cool, comfortable running conditions, so dress in layers you can remove once you are warmed up.
