Race-morning weather history
Gulf-coast Florida: Thanksgiving mornings typically 55-70F and humid — heat/humidity is the factor, not cold. 2020 cancelled outright with explicitly NO virtual option. The historical 10K/4K were dropped at the 2021 relaunch. Wyndo tracks what this calendar slot has actually served up at the start hour — temperature, dew point, wind, and rain — including the years when weather canceled or disrupted the race, and reads the live forecast for the start once the race confirms its schedule and race week arrives.

Race facts
- Start line
- Clearwater High School, 540 S Hercules Ave (2025 city-published venue; school-polygon geocode matching the city's own pin within ~50 m). NOT Coachman Park; BayCare Ballpark hosts only the day-before Pre-Trot party.
- Traditional start (not confirmed for 2026)
- 7:00 AM (America/New_York) — Carried from 2025 (2026 unannounced): the timed competitive 5K at 7:00 AM ET is the first mass start; an untimed fun-run 5K follows 8:00 and the 1-Mile Drum Run 9:00 — two different "5K" guns exist, 7:00 is the timed race. Re-verify everything at the 2026 announcement.
- Field size
- 2025 timed competitive 5K finishers (RunSignup results API, paged) — a CAPACITY-SHAPED floor: the timed 5K sold out, and the two untimed events produce no records. Press put the total field at "nearly 10,000"; pre-COVID scale was ~12k finishers across four distances. Included on that total-field basis (curation decision 2026-08-27).
- Registration
- 2025 terms carried — 2026 registration does not exist yet ($25 in 2025; "typically reaches capacity"). Re-verify at the 2026 announcement.
