About
The race
The Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon attracts thousands of runners and walkers eager to share in the holiday spirit and give thanks for their health and fitness. Come celebrate this Thanksgiving Day with the Atlanta Track Club and earn your turkey! Atlanta’s Thanksgiving Day half-marathon is the granddaddy of the now-long list of road running events in Georgia. The half-marathon takes runners along a course that retraces a number of the steps of the marathon route used for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, which offers numerous challenging hills through Atlanta’s city streets. The starting line for the half marathon begins along Hank Aaron Drive in the shadow of Turner Field, where runners gathering a the starting line will be able to see a tremendous blown-up photograph of the ball that “Hammerin’” Hank Aaron hit to notch his 715th career home run and become the then-all-time home run leader in Major League Baseball.
