While most of Palm Coast was still waking up to the smell of turkey and pies, more than 1,178 runners and walkers laced up their shoes and gathered together for a beloved holiday tradition—the annual Feet to Feast 5K Run/Walk. This year’s turnout marked a new record, surpassing last year’s participation and making the 2025 Thanksgiving morning event the largest in its history.

Families, seasoned runners, some in costumes, and first-time participants filled the route with energy and gratitude as they made their way from Daytona State College Palm Coast Campus, along the scenic Intracoastal Waterway, toward the Hammock Bridge, and back again. The cool morning air, festive outfits, and laughter along the course created the perfect start to a day of family, food, and thankfulness.

“There is nothing quite like waking up on Thanksgiving morning and celebrating together as a community,” said Acting City Manager Lauren Johnston, whose family participates in Feet to Feast every year. “To see more than a thousand people come together—running, walking, laughing, and making memories—perfectly reflects what this holiday is all about. It’s one of my favorite Palm Coast traditions, and I’m grateful to experience it alongside my family and our residents year after year.”

Top finishers took home medals—and a pie, perfect for Thanksgiving dessert. Holiday-themed costumes also shined, with awards for cutest kid costume, best overall costume, best couple costume, and best family costume adding to the festive spirit. Finalists in each category were as follows:
