This running event takes place on Thursday, November 26, 2026 at Bayonne County Park in Bayonne, New Jersey. It is an annual community tradition held on Thanksgiving morning.

Participants can choose from two events:

  • 1 Mile Fun Run, starting at 9:00 AM EST.

Registration is required, with the price increasing after specific dates. A race shirt is included for registered runners. The event is not professionally chip-timed, but a large clock will be at the finish line for reference. It is described as family-friendly, welcoming runners, walkers, and strollers.

Early packet pickup is available on the Wednesday before the race at the Bayonne Museum to avoid delays on race day. The event tends to fill up every year, so early registration is suggested to secure a spot. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
