Thanksgiving morning comes alive in Palm Beach with the annual Turkey Trot!

The morning begins with the Kids' Drumstick Dash at 7:00 AM, when more than 100 little runners, from toddlers through age 6, dash together across the Great Lawn. It's an adorable and energetic start to a Thanksgiving morning filled with fun, family, and community spirit.

Then comes the Turkey Trot 5K at 7:30 AM, when runners and walkers take to the scenic, chip-timed course. Each year, more than 1,600 participants and spectators come together to enjoy the race, cheer one another on, and celebrate this special Palm Beach Thanksgiving tradition.

And every trot makes a difference, bringing people together for a good cause and helping the Town of Palm Beach United Way provide holiday meals to individuals and families in need throughout Palm Beach County.
