Bordentown Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk

Bordentown Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk is scheduled in Bordentown Township, New Jersey, on November 21, 2026. The listing shows one format, a 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles) starting at 9:30 AM. As a run/walk event held the weekend before Thanksgiving, it welcomes anyone who wants to cover the distance on foot, whether that means racing, jogging with friends, or walking the whole way.

The 9:30 AM start is a comfortable one that leaves time for breakfast and a relaxed warm-up. If you are walking, plan on roughly 45 to 60 minutes and wear shoes you have already broken in. If you are running, the 5K is short enough to race off general fitness, but a few weeks of preparation pays off: three runs a week, one of them with several minutes at a brisk pace, is enough to feel strong through the final mile. Position yourself in the start area according to your expected pace so faster runners and walkers each get clear road, then run the first half mile a touch slower than feels natural and finish faster than you started.
