32nd Annual Key West Hog Trot 5K – A Post-Thanksgiving Island Tradition

The 32nd Annual Key West Hog Trot 5K returns November 27–28, 2026, bringing a high-energy blend of fitness, fun, and philanthropy to the heart of Old Town Key West. Hosted by the legendary Hog’s Breath Saloon, this beloved annual event is a staple of Thanksgiving weekend, drawing locals and visitors alike for a race that’s as entertaining as it is meaningful.

The main event takes place Saturday morning, kicking off with a lively 5K run/walk through the vibrant streets surrounding the Historic Seaport and downtown Key West. Participants of all skill levels are welcome, whether you're aiming for a competitive finish or simply enjoying a relaxed jog in the island breeze.

Race weekend begins Friday with packet pickup and pre-race festivities at Hog’s Breath Saloon, where the atmosphere sets the tone for a weekend full of camaraderie and celebration. After crossing the finish line on Saturday, runners are treated to post-race refreshments, cold drinks, and the kind of laid-back Key West energy that makes this event truly unique.

More than just a race, the Hog Trot is a charity-driven event supporting the Florida Keys SPCA. Every step taken helps provide care, shelter, and advocacy for animals throughout the Keys, adding purpose to the weekend’s festivities.

With its perfect timing following Thanksgiving, warm tropical weather, and a festive crowd ready to celebrate, the Hog Trot has earned its reputation as one of Key West’s most enjoyable annual runs. Whether you're continuing a holiday tradition or discovering it for the first time, this is one race you won’t want to miss.
