Waterfront Racing in Hoboken
The Hoboken Turkey Trot returns on Saturday, November 21, 2026. This annual event takes place along the waterfront in Hoboken, New Jersey, offering participants views of the Manhattan skyline. The race serves as a kickoff to Thanksgiving week and welcomes runners and walkers of various experience levels.
The event features two primary distances:
- 5K Run/Walk (USATF-certified)
- 1 Mile Fun Run
Both races start and finish at Pier A Park, located at 100 Sinatra Drive. The 5K course is officially certified, making it a suitable option for those seeking timed results on a regulated route.
Participants can access early packet pickup the day before the race at a designated location in Hoboken to collect their bibs, shirts, and other materials. On race day, the event includes a post-race experience with music and hot chocolate. An awards ceremony follows the runs at a local venue, recognizing the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in various age groups ranging from 12 and under to 70 and over. Digital race photos are provided to participants after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
