The Early Bird Turkey Trot takes place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving in Kennesaw and Marietta, offering in-person 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon races. The same distances are available virtually, allowing participation remotely. This event is part of the Five Star NTP race series and serves as an early iteration of the organizer’s Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, providing an opportunity to run before the holiday. The race originated from a Five Star NTP custom of offering a complimentary 5K entry to returning runners: those who completed any of the organizer’s races between early December and mid-November qualify for one in-person Turkey Trot 5K entry. Participants not qualifying can still register for a modest fee. Shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals are available as optional purchases, not included automatically. The event relies on local charity and volunteer assistance, with a charity partner receiving donations and volunteers earning free future races for their morning's work.

The Get Basted Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving-season race series offering 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon options, including virtual versions of each distance. This is the event's second year, and it is designed so runners can select any distance from a short holiday run to a half marathon without changing events. The route details are not specified, but the race format is straightforward: in-person and virtual runners can select from the same distance options. Basic entry remains inexpensive, with race-day pricing only slightly higher. Shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals are optional purchases. A distinctive feature is the give-back program: volunteers receive five free race entries, and runners who completed one of the organizer's qualifying races during the year can claim a free 5K spot in an in-person Turkey Trot. This tradition started as a way to thank participants who had raced with the group throughout the season.

The Five Star Thanksgiving Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning running event in Johns Creek, Georgia, offering 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon distances. It is a run-only event, and each distance includes a virtual option for those participating remotely. The series maintains an accessible entry price, with a slightly increased fee for race-day registration. Participants can purchase shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals individually rather than as part of a bundled package. A unique tradition offers free in-person Turkey Trot entry to runners who completed a Five Star race during the preceding year, a gesture of appreciation for consistent participation. All participants can compete for overall and age-group awards.

Run for Coffee Lovers ATLANTA is a coffee-themed run on S Peachtree Creek Trail in Atlanta, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances. A 1-mile Family Fun Run is available, along with virtual entries for the main distances. An eco-registration option is provided for runners who prefer not to receive a shirt. This is a smaller private group run, with each wave capped and closed once it fills. Runners and walkers are welcome at any pace. Younger participants require a guardian. Timing is optional and can be done through apps like Strava, RunKeeper, or Nike Run. The course map will be emailed to participants, and the first five finishers will receive coffee.

Run for the Children is an annual race morning at Etowah River Park in Canton, Georgia, featuring a 5K run/walk, a 10K run, a Fun Run, and a Santa’s Helper option for those who want to support the event without racing. The Service League of Cherokee County hosts it, with a schedule designed for families as much as runners: the Fun Run starts first, followed by the 5K and 10K together. The event maintains a practical and local format. The 5K and 10K are timed by BT Race Timing, but are not chip timed; finishers submit a card with their name, age, bib number, and gender to appear in results and qualify for awards. The 5K and 10K offer awards for overall winners, masters winners, and age groups from 10 and under through 80 and over, while Fun Run finishers receive a commemorative ribbon. Schools have an additional incentive to bring participants, with a cash prize for the school with the most attendees, and runners receive bananas and water post-race.
