About the SOME's Trot for Hunger
The Trot for Hunger starts and finishes at Freedom Plaza on Thanksgiving morning. The course is a timed run through downtown Washington, and the atmosphere that morning is shaped by the holiday crowd and the charity behind it, a nonprofit focused on serving neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty. A shorter option runs alongside the main distance for younger or newer runners.
Packet pickup happens the two days before the race at locations announced closer to the event. On race morning, bib pickup opens early at Freedom Plaza. There are no water stops on the course itself, but bottled water is available at the finish. A costume contest for pets caps off the post-race festival on the plaza.

The SOME's Trot for Hunger has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
