Turkey Trot, two ways
Monday, September 20, 2021 by Tai Moses
The hottest event trend in our still-not-post-pandemic era is to hold an in-person event as well as a virtual event, thereby covering all bases and hoping for the best. The 31st Turkey Trot will follow this trend, with organizer ThunderCloud Subs scheduling both live and virtual events for Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, “with specific details and safety protocols approved by Austin Public Health to be announced as the date gets closer.” Either way, it’s sure to be a hit: About 7,000 people participated in last year’s entirely virtual event, according to Thundercloud Subs’ website. All proceeds go to the nonprofit Caritas of Austin, “which has received $4.2 million from the Trot since it began in 1991 with just a handful of volunteers and 600 participants.” Register here.
