Event Description

The Chatham Turkey Trot (www.thechathamturkeytrot.org) is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization that hosts a 1 Mile Family Fun Run and a USA Track & Field certified 5K Race in the scenic Highlands section of Chatham Township, NJ on Thanksgiving Day.

Since its inception in 2009, we have raised more than $150,000 benefiting the Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Department, the Diabetes Research Institute, the Chatham Emergency Squad and The Barton Center for Diabetes Education. 

Over the years, the Chatham Turkey Trot has become a family holiday tradition that offers expert and novice runners alike the opportunity to spend time with family and friends, raise funds for our first responders and diabetes research and education, and break a sweat before the big meal.

Please note that you must register BEFORE November 8th in order to receive a commemorative T-shirt, sorry no exceptions.
