The Chatham Turkey Trot
 The Chatham Turkey Trot

 

Dear Friends & Neighbors,

 

I invite you to join us on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 2025 for the 17th Annual Chatham Turkey Trot. The event consists of a 1 Mile Family Fun Run and a USA Track & Field certified 5K Race that takes participants through the scenic Highlands section of Chatham Township, NJ.

 

Each year, The Chatham Turkey Trot attracts more than 1,300 runners who help raise funds for our first responders, veterans, and diabetes research and education including the Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Departmentthe Chatham Emergency Squad, Chatham Township PBA #170, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, The Barton Center for Diabetes Education and the Diabetes Research InstituteSince 2009, we have raised nearly $335,000 from the generous support of our sponsors, donors, and runners. 

 

Over the years, the Chatham Turkey Trot has become a family holiday tradition that offers expert and novice runners alike the opportunity to spend time with family, friends, and neighbors, raise funds and break a sweat before the big meal.

 

I encourage you navigate through our website to learn more about our beneficiaries, view photos and  videos of past Turkey Trots, and read about the local businesses who support our efforts. If you have an interest in sponsoring the Turkey Trot please email us at TheChathamTurkeyTrot@gmail.com

 

I look forward to seeing you on Thanksgiving Day.

 

Best regards,
