Kings Grant Turkey Trot 5K

Kings Grant Turkey Trot 5K is held in Evesham Township, New Jersey, on November 21, 2026. The event features a single 5K, the Kings Grant Turkey Trot, starting at 9:00 a.m. in the Kings Grant area. Scheduled on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, it is a classic holiday-season turkey trot at the 3.1-mile distance.

A turkey trot 5K is a natural first race or a relaxed group outing, and it also works as a quick fitness check before the winter. If you have a few months of running behind you, adding one short-interval workout per week in the last four to six weeks will make the 3.1 miles feel faster and smoother. If you are just starting out, alternating jogging and walking three times a week and gradually stretching the running portions is all it takes to finish comfortably. Line up a little early on race morning to jog for ten minutes and loosen up before the 9:00 a.m. start.
