Race Results
The 2025 Acworth Turkey Chase will take place on Saturday, November 22 with registration beginning in August 2025. We are excited to announce that we are an official Peachtree Road Race Qualifier. Runners will enjoy an exhilarating 5K run, jog, or walk through Historic Downtown Acworth and along the shores of beautiful Lake Acworth.

Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome. All participants must bring a non-perishable food item on the day of the race to receive a race number and t-shirt.
