The Annual Turkey Run Charity Ride invites motorcyclists to support a Thanksgiving meal drive by bringing one frozen turkey per rider instead of cash. For 15 years, Ghost Ryderz Extreme MC Atlanta has partnered with Life Church Smyrna Assembly of God to provide holiday meals for veterans and families in need. The church congregation gathers canned and dry goods, and the ride supplies the turkeys that complete each meal. Registration takes place at Life Church Smyrna Assembly of God, where coffee, drinks, and snacks are available. Frozen turkeys are weighed and stored at the church during the registration period only, and the donor of the heaviest turkey receives recognition. After a blessing, the group departs for a twisty ride that concludes at the GRE MC clubhouse in Atlanta. At the clubhouse, participants can enjoy complimentary food, games, and cold drinks at the bar, along with prize giveaways from sponsors. Riders who prefer not to carry a turkey can have someone in a car deliver it to the church during registration. Supporters who are not riding may donate during registration, while most cars are not permitted on the ride or at the clubhouse because of safety and parking limits. Those unable to attend can contribute via CashApp to $GFFG7185 and include “Turkey Run” in the note so the donation goes to this effort.
