Harvest Run

Lace up your running shoes and kick off your Thanksgiving Day with the Harvest Run, a cherished tradition in Leesburg, Georgia, celebrating its 12th anniversary on November 26, 2026. This popular event offers both a 10K and a 5K, providing the perfect opportunity to "earn your turkey" before the holiday feast.

Runners can anticipate a fast and flat course that winds scenically through the heart of Leesburg. Both the 5K and 10K courses are USATF certified, ensuring an accurate and potentially fast race for those aiming for a personal best. The 10K features two water stops, while the 5K includes one, keeping participants hydrated throughout their run. Typical race day conditions in late November see comfortable highs around 69F and lows near 44F, with only an 11% chance of precipitation, offering ideal running weather.

The festive atmosphere begins at the Leesburg Recreation Building (by First Baptist Leesburg), where check-in and race day registration open at 7:30 AM. This long-standing Southwest Georgia tradition draws runners looking to enjoy a community-focused race with a scenic route.
