About the race
Westfield Turkey Trot is a long-running community running event held at Tamaques Park in Westfield, New Jersey, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It offers three races: a flat, fast 5-mile run through park roads and residential streets (USATF-NJ Grand Prix points), a 1-mile 5280 Run around Tamaques Park, and a family-friendly PracticeHard Mile. The atmosphere blends camaraderie, friendly competition, and family fun, with awards for overall winners, age groups, and wheeled athletes.
Post-race perks include souvenir options, hot soup and bagels, a prize carnival, face painting, and a Plant-a-Tree option in lieu of a souvenir tee. The event emphasizes timing, community, and environmental initiatives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
