This year, take part in Austin's favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition - from near or far!
2020 marked the 30th anniversary of the ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot, benefitting Caritas of Austin’s work to end homelessness and provide people with the tools and opportunities to succeed. The first virtual Trot in its history raised $120,000 for Caritas of Austin, bringing the total raised over three decades to more than $4.2 million. The run takes place on Thanksgiving Day each year, and there are plenty of ways you can get involved.
Due to our “new normal” and complying with city guidelines, ThunderCloud Subs transitioned the traditional Turkey Trot into a virtual experience in 2020. Those who signed up for the 5-mile family fun run, 1-mile walk or Kids K participated safely in their own neighborhoods this past year. On average, $16 of each registration fee went directly to support Caritas of Austin’s work and mission.
This year, the 2021 Trot will be a hybrid event, which means you can join us in person for a five-mile run, one-mile run or walk, or a Kids K –or sign up to run in your own neighborhood, no matter where in the country you live!
Stay tuned for the 2021 ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot registration, which will launch here in August!
