This year marks the 25th anniversary of the ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot. It’s the largest five-mile run in Texas, and one of the largest Turkey Trots in the nation with more than 20,000 participants. It’s definitely a cherished Thanksgiving Day tradition in Austin.

ThunderCloud has raised nearly $2.5 million for Caritas of Austin through the ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot. 100 percent of the proceeds of the event are donated to Caritas, which fights poverty, hunger and homelessness.
