Palm Coast’s annual Thanksgiving tradition is returning this fall! The 2026 Feet to Feast Thanksgiving 5K will take place Thursday, November 26, allowing runners and walkers to start Thanksgiving morning with a fun, festive event surrounded by family, friends, and community.
The race will begin at 7:45 a.m. at Daytona State College’s Flagler/Palm Coast Campus, located at 3000 Palm Coast Pkwy SE. Participants will follow a scenic course through Palm Coast before returning to the campus for the finish. A water station will be available along the route to help participants stay hydrated.
Every registered participant will receive a finisher medal featuring this year’s festive Feet to Feast Tater Tot mascot, along with a long-sleeve event shirt while supplies last. Placement medals will also be awarded to the overall men’s and women’s winners, as well as first, second, and third-place finishers in 14 age categories.
The Feet to Feast Thanksgiving 5K will once again bring plenty of holiday spirit to race morning with a festive costume contest. Participants are encouraged to get creative with their Thanksgiving-themed attire for a chance to win prizes in multiple costume categories.
