Established in 1907, The New Orleans Athletic Club "Turkey Day Race" is one of the oldest and continuously held non-marathon races in the United States.  Since 1986, the race proceeds have benefited charities in our local community.

 

Since 1907 the Turkey Day Race has established a rich tradition and heritage among runners throughout the South.
