Pelican Yacht Club Turkey Trot

The Pelican Yacht Club Turkey Trot 5K is an annual Thanksgiving morning race held in Fort Pierce, Florida, at the Pelican Yacht Club. Now in its third year, this 5K run/walk offers participants a scenic course through South Hutchinson Island's eclectic neighborhoods, along Ocean Boulevard, and includes a jog on the jetty before finishing back at the Yacht Club. The event fosters community spirit by supporting Jaycee Park and provides a festive atmosphere with drinks and snacks at the club post-race.

The Pelican Yacht Club, located near the Atlantic Ocean, is a private club known for its boating, fishing, and social activities, making this race a unique and enjoyable way to start Thanksgiving Day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
