Course & Travel Notes

The Dieterich Turkey Trot 5K takes place at 594 feet elevation, which is relatively modest and shouldn't require significant pacing adjustments for most runners. The race starts at 7:00 AM, just 12 minutes after sunrise at 6:48 AM, so expect low-light conditions at the beginning. Late November weather in this area typically features highs around 53°F and lows near 35°F, with about a 28% chance of measurable rain on any given day—dress in layers and prepare for cool, potentially wet conditions. The nearest airport is Decatur Airport (DEC), located 59.3 miles from the venue.
