We are happy to announce that 2026 marks the 36th anniversary of the event! Without our amazing runners, volunteers, and sponsors, we wouldn't be here. Thank you for your continued support! We are still committed to ending homelessness in Austin and providing our annual check to Caritas of Austin!
1 Community. 36 Years.
We strive to give every dollar received through registrations, donations and sponsorships
directly to Caritas of Austin, helping to end homelessness in Central Texas.
100% of all proceeds for this event are donated to Caritas of Austin. Caritas of Austin has been ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot’s sole beneficiary since the beginning in 1991. During the past 34 years, ThunderCloud has given more than $6 million to Caritas.
Caritas of Austin believes that when every person has a stable place to call home, they can realize their full potential and contribute to our community. They build well-being by making sure that people have a safe home, access to healthy groceries, jobs that provide a reliable living wage, and educational opportunities to learn life skills. All of us need a sturdy foundation and layers of support in our lives to thrive; that’s what creates a strong community. Their innovative, personalized, and proven approach to building well-being and ending homelessness creates a more vibrant Austin for everyone.
During these uncertain times, the services provided by Caritas of Austin are needed now more than ever.
