The WMC Memorial 5K Turkey Trot is a community road race held on Thanksgiving Day at West Morris Central High School in Chester, New Jersey. The event is described as a holiday tradition in Washington Township, Morris County, and takes place on the high school grounds.

The course begins behind one of the soccer fields and finishes on the track that surrounds the football field. Runners complete the full 5K distance by looping around the course twice.
