About the race
The ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot is the 36th annual community run and walk held on Thanksgiving morning, November 26, 2026, in Austin. The event offers both a live race meeting at the Long Center and a virtual option that lets participants run or walk from any location and submit a time for comparison. Virtual participants are not eligible for awards; registration proceeds support Caritas of Austin.
Distances and events include:
- 5-mile run
- 1-mile walk
- Stepping Stone School Kids K with an activity tent
Packet pickup is scheduled across November 20–26 at designated locations; participants may pick up packets for friends and family. Registration fees are per person and increase automatically after each deadline. T-shirts are not guaranteed for participants who pick up packets on Thanksgiving morning.
Parking and drop-off options are listed for event attendees and include several nearby garages and lots such as Palmer Events Center Long Center, Austin City Hall Parking Garage, One Texas Center, State Garage N, Bat Bridge Lot, and Silicon Labs Parking Garage. Participants are asked to be respectful of neighborhood parking rules south of the river. Course maps and a venue map are provided for the live event.
A raffle sponsored by First Texas Honda offers a new car lease or credit up to $25,000; ticket sales are limited and all ticket proceeds are donated to Caritas of Austin. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
