The 2023 COFFEE POT TURKEY TROT 5K is a family–friendly, timed 5K looping around St. Petersburg’s Coffee Pot Bayou on Thanksgiving morning. Returning for its seventh year the event is a beloved tradition for families, friends, and fitness enthusiasts. The event is hosted by the North Shore Elementary PTA to benefit North Shore Elementary, a Title One School. The 2023 Presenting Sponsor is Northstar Realty: Georgia and Kirby.
The North Shore Elementary PTA believes that every school has the potential for success. Active parents, a supportive community, and engaged students can combine to make any school a warm and stimulating environment in which students are inspired to succeed.
The USATF-certified 5K route begins and ends at North Shore Elementary, winding its way through Old Northeast, Snell Isle, and Northeast Park, before finishing back at the school for post-race snacks, coffee, and awards. And of course, winners in each age category will be taking home a free pie, as is tradition.
