WESTFIELD TURKEY TROT
What's the Turkey Trot all about?
It's an NJ holiday tradition since 1984!
Held annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the Turkey Trot is not only a great organized race for seasoned athletes, but the perfect first time event for weekend warriors or a healthy day out for families. Burn that Thanksgiving meal off in a hurry!
Where is it?
For the 1st (and hopefully only) time, the Turkey Trot is taking a Road Trip to Oak Ridge Park in Clark, NJ or Virtually Anywhere for those of you more comfortable near home. There is plenty of parking for those attending the Live event and there are restrooms on-site.

Please only arrive to check-in at the park 30 minutes prior to your assigned time to alleviate any on-site congestion...or better yet pick-up your bib and shirt at one of our packet pick-ups!
