Invesco QQQ Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon, 5K, Mile & Dash (Center Parc Stadium)

About this adventure

An Atlanta Thanksgiving morning institution organized by the Atlanta Track Club, this mega-event gathers more than 12,000 runners, walkers, and cheering families at Center Parc Stadium (formerly Turner Field). With the historic Olympic cauldron looming overhead, participants choose between the premier 13.1-mile Half Marathon through historic neighborhoods like Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park, a fast 5K, a family-friendly 1-Mile run, and the 50-meter Dash designed specifically for kids ages 6 and under. The stadium course is exceptionally well-managed with wide, paved avenues welcoming jogging strollers in designated rear corrals for the 5K and Mile. Every finisher receives a commemorative medal, long-sleeve performance shirt, and the race's cherished finish-line reward—a warm, freshly baked holiday pie to kick off Thanksgiving dinner.
