About the City of Hinesville Day Before Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 5K
The course runs through downtown Hinesville, so you get streets rather than trails, with the energy of the city center around you. It is a Thanksgiving-eve race, which means most of the people out there are treating it as a warmup for the holiday rather than a hard effort.
After finishing, the race moves into a park in the heart of downtown, where there is live music and the general atmosphere of a city celebration getting started for the long weekend.
