Overview The Invesco QQQ Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon is Atlanta Track Club's Thanksgiving-morning race, starting and finishing outside the stadium built for the 1996 Olympics, and the club bills it as the largest Thanksgiving Day half marathon in the country. The morning carries four races: the half marathon for ages 14 and up, a 5K, a mile for ages 6 and up and a dash for children 6 and under. It is the closing leg of the club's Triple Peach Race Series, after the Peachtree Road Race on July 4 and the Atlanta 10 Miler in October. Atlanta Track Club is the member-based running club that puts on Peachtree. On site Runners gather at Center Parc Stadium, Georgia State's football stadium and the former Turner Field, where the club's 2024 start went off under the Olympic rings. The half marathon runs out through Summerhill, Grant Park and other in-town neighborhoods, with aid stations at miles 2, 4, 6.3, 8.5 and 10.5 and gels at miles 4 and 8. The races go off in sequence - half, 5K, mile, then the dashes, split into a heat for 3 and under and one for ages 4 to 6 - and the awards ceremony follows on site. Pace teams cover finish times from 1:30 to 3:15, plus a run-walk Back of the Pack group, and the 5K starts its own wave for dogs on leashes and strollers. Half and 5K finishers get a long-sleeve tee and a medal; mile and dash finishers get a medal and a beanie. Audience This is a family morning before the holiday meal. The club describes it as runners, walkers and families together, and the distances run from a half marathon down to a dash for toddlers. Triple Peach runners, who have already finished Peachtree and the 10 Miler, collect the last piece of the series medal here, and pacers carry groups from sub-seven-minute miles to a 16-minute run-walk. Track record The race sells out, in the club's words. In 2025 the Mile and Dash sold out by November 17, ahead of race day, and registration for the 2026 race opened on Thanksgiving Day 2025. Brand presence Invesco QQQ holds the title. adidas supplies the long-sleeve finisher tee and powers the club's 12-week In-Training program for the race, Honey Stinger gels go out at miles 4 and 8, and Runna offers personalized training plans through the club.
