Tammany Turkey Trot

Thu November 28, 2024 Covington, LA 70433 US Directions

Course Information

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! 

5 Mile runners will finish their Turkey “tour” with a scenic jaunt further south past more beautiful homes before rejoining with the 5K course and heading north back to downtown.
