18th Annual Trot Against Poverty 5K

We are back at Riverside Park! 

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!
