Race Information
The Tammany Turkey Trot takes to the streets of Covington again on Thanksgiving morning. Get ready to experience the history of downtown Covington or show it off to your visiting family and friends. Here’s your chance to #EarnYourTurkey! Athletes will start their Thanksgiving run just north of downtown Covington. From there, both 5K and 5 mile runners will make their way through downtown and into the splendor of moss-covered trees that line the streets. Close to St. Paul’s High School runners will head slightly west before turning north. From there, it’s a return trip for the finish line at the St. Tammany Courthouse!
