About the White County Turkey Trot
The course runs entirely inside a park called Yonah Preserve, starting and finishing at the Recreation Center there. It is a contained loop through the park grounds, set in the North Georgia mountains, so the surroundings carry some real elevation and tree cover even if the course itself stays within the park.
Packet pickup happens race morning at the start area before the gun goes off. All registration is handled online beforehand, and there is no walk-up cash option on race day, so it is worth sorting that out ahead of time. An awards ceremony follows the race, and organizers ask that you collect any award in person rather than expect it to be mailed.

The White County Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
