Senoia 5K Turkey Trot

Senoia 5K Turkey Trot is held in Senoia, Georgia, on November 21, 2026, with the 5K run starting at 8:00 a.m. It is a single-distance turkey trot on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, bringing the classic 3.1-mile format to Senoia for local runners and holiday visitors.

Turkey trots are among the most welcoming races on the calendar, which is why they work so well as a first 5K or as a family outing. If you are new to running, four to six weeks of three easy sessions a week, alternating jogging and walking and stretching the running portions each week, will be plenty. If you are an experienced runner, the race is a chance to close out the fall with a fast effort: keep one weekly session of short repeats and one steady 4- to 5-mile run in the lead-up, and ease off in the final days. An 8:00 a.m. start means a light, early breakfast and a short warm-up jog before the gun.
