Two weeks before Thanksgiving in 2011, we decided that we wanted to give back to all the participants who came out to race with us over the course of the year. Thanksgiving morning seemed to be the perfect time, and giving them a FREE race would be the perfect way to say thanks. We're continuing that tradition...If you've crossed under our finish line in any race from Dec. 1, 2024 - Nov. 14, 2025, you've earned yourself a FREE 5K spot in ONE of the in-person Turkey Trot races. (Please note the dates. Running one of our Turkey Trots last year does NOT qualify for a free entry.)
BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR...THE Early Bird Race. Everything will be the same as Thanksgiving Day, but we're letting you race on Saturday November 22nd in Marietta/Kennesaw, if you want to.
THAT'S THIS RACE YOU ARE ABOUT TO REGISTER FOR!
VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS RACE RECEIVE THREE (3) FREE RACES. (Volunteers must sign up on the volunteer page.)
The Early Bird Turkey Trot is proud to announce that the Georgia House Rabbit Society, a volunteer-based non-profit rabbit rescue organization is the 2025 Charity Partner.
Georgia House Rabbit Society – Help Feed Rescue Rabbits!

---------------------------------------------
The Early Bird Turkey Trot is proud to announce that the Georgia House Rabbit Society, a volunteer-based non-profit rabbit rescue organization is the 2025 Charity Partner.
Georgia House Rabbit Society (GHRS) is Georgia’s only stand alone domestic rabbit-exclusive shelter providing medical care, and adoption services for rabbits as well as ongoing education to adopters and the public.
Every month, it costs about $6,000 to feed them fresh hay, greens, and pellets to the 100+ rabbits in our care at the facility.
This Thanksgiving, help give these rabbits a holiday feast! Donate today to keep them happy and healthy while they wait for their furever homes.
It is said that domestic rabbits are the 3rd most popular pet in the United States, falling just behind dogs and cats. Sadly, it is this popularity which also makes them the 3rd most abandoned pet in the country.
Here at GHRS we work to not only save bunnies who have been abused and abandoned, but we also work to correct misinformation about rabbits that so often leads to their abandonment.
Our rescue is the largest rabbit specific shelter in Georgia and there are only a few like it in the country.
Our stand alone facility serves multiple purposes. In addition to providing housing for our rescued rabbits, the shelter also serves as a learning center, a boarding facility, and a source for quality rabbit supplies.
