From the Organizer
The 4th Annual Pelican Yacht Club Turkey Trot 5K will take place on Thanksgiving morning, 2026! Pelican Yacht Club is once again opening its doors to the public in this event to support Jaycee Park and our running community. This race has sold out for the last two years, and will sell out again at 750 participants in 2026! Please take this opportunity to start your morning off right, with a trot and toast (drinks and snacks to be provided) at the Pelican Yacht Club. During the race, runners will experience the beauty of South Hutchinson Island as they trot through eclectic neighborhoods before getting to Ocean Boulevard. Runners will jog the jetty before heading back to the Pelican Yacht Club where the race will wrap up in plenty of time to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner! The Pelican Turkey Trot will not only rev up your appetite for Thanksgiving, but will also provide support for our community's beloved Jaycee Park!
