The 2020 COFFEE POT TURKEY TROT 5K is a virtual 5K that will continue a beloved Thanksgiving tradition for families, friends, and fitness enthusiasts. Stay safe, support your community, and nurture a growing tradition.
The Coffee Pot Turkey Trot is hosted by the North Shore Elementary PTA to benefit North Shore Elementary, a Title One School in St. Petersburg, Florida. Like most schools in Florida, North Shore is facing incredible challenges from the Covid pandemic. Race funds are spent exclusively on PTA initiatives like: direct funding to teachers to purchase classroom supplies, the purchase of subscriptions or licenses to help with virtual and in-class learning, and diversity initiatives like the “Let’s Talk About Racism” series.
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.

Packet-Pick-Up Important note - please remember to wear a mask when speaking to the volunteers at packet pick-up.
Drive Through Packet Pick-up will take place on November 17 & 18 from 5 - 7:30 pm at the North Shore Elementary car circle at 200 35th Ave NE. An aerial map of the location is included below.
To receive your packet, drive through the school’s car circle and tell the volunteer the names of the registrants for whom you are picking up. Please wear a mask when speaking with the volunteer.
If You Miss Packet Pickup: If you are unable to pick up your packet on November 17 and 18 you must pay the shipping fee to have your packet mailed to you. Packets will be mailed immediately upon receipt of payment, but are not guaranteed to arrive in time for the race window. Please make every effort to pick up your packet at the drive through packet pickup.
To pay the shipping fee if you miss packet pickup: visit the website: www.runsignup.com/coffeepotturkeytrot and select the “Store” option from the menu at the top of the page. You will see the option for packet mailing. You must pay for each packet that is to be mailed, even if they are to the same address. We have priced the mailing of packets, and this fee will just cover the cost of shipping.
