Annual Thanksgiving Day Feet to Feast 5K Draws Record Number in Palm Coast

By-Line: Patrick Appolonia, City of Palm Coast

The City of Palm Coast’s annual Feet to Feast 5K Run/Walk saw record numbers this year, with over 1,000 participants rising early to take part in the fun, festive community outing before the big meal. This number surpasses last year’s record of just over 800 participants, which included everyone from avid runners to families.

 

“The Feet to Feast 5K is a lot of fun for everyone from our local running community to those that just want to enjoy being together with family and friends to kick off the holiday weekend,” said City of Palm Coast Parks and Recreation Director James Hirst. “The event captures the spirit of Thanksgiving and it’s quickly become one of our biggest traditions that we look forward to year after year.”

 

Beginning at the Daytona State College Palm Coast Campus, the event course followed a similar path to previous years with participants tracking through some of the most beautiful waterfront sights the city has to offer along the Intracoastal waterway to the Hammock Bridge before looping back along Palm Coast Pkwy to the finish line back at the campus.

 

Top overall men’s and women’s finishers and all Top 3 finishers from each age group took home a medal and a pie for Thanksgiving dinner with awards also going to selected finalists for cutest kid costume, best overall costume, best costumed couple and best overall family costume. Finalists in each category were as follows:
