Running of the Turkeys 5k : Roswell, GA
The event is a Thanksgiving Day running event in Roswell, Georgia, offering live and virtual options and a nonrunning T-shirt-only entry. Events listed by the organizer include a live 5K run/walk, a virtual 5K (3.1 miles), and a live or virtual charity entry for which 100% of that race entry is designated to RPD GIVES. The Friends of Roswell Police is the local charity partner; the organization raises funds to support local families and seniors in need.
All participants receive a turkey-themed giveaway and a tri-blend long sleeve t-shirt; virtual participants receive a shirt and gloves. Packet pickup is mandatory and available at three locations on the days before the event:
- Hampton Inn, Alpharetta (packet pickup location)
- Gate City Brewing Company, 43 Magnolia St, Roswell, GA 30075
- Big Peach Running Company East Cobb, 1062 Johnson Ferry Rd, Marietta, GA 30068
Organizers note a race size of 4000+ runners and request use of early packet pickup to streamline race day. There are alternative options for those who cannot pick up early: a mailed bib for an additional fee or a race day pickup option for an additional fee. The event is stroller friendly; pets are not permitted. A host hotel is listed by the organizer as Hampton Inn Alpharetta / Roswell. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
