Get ready to shake your tail feathers at the 18th Annual Thanksgiving Day Trot Against Poverty 5K — the largest 5K on the Treasure Coast!
Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or just looking for a fun family stroll, this event is for you. Join 2,000+ trotters and our beloved Turkey Tom (a towering 25-foot inflatable turkey!) for a morning full of community spirit and holiday cheer.
All proceeds benefit United Against Poverty (UAP), a nonprofit organization celebrating over 20 years of empowering individuals and families to lift themselves out of poverty and achieve economic self-sufficiency.
Start your holiday on the right foot — run, jog, or walk with us and make this Thanksgiving unforgettable!
Pre-race Packet Pickup will take place on Tuesday (11/25) and Wednesday (11/26) from 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM at United Against Poverty's IRC Campus (1400 27th St Vero Beach, FL 32960).
The much coveted Trot Race Shirts will be available to the first 1,800 registrants. Don't wait, sign up early!
