Read Feed Run 5K Turkey Trot

Read Feed Run 5K Turkey Trot is held in Morristown, New Jersey, on November 26, 2026. The 5K Turkey Trot (3.1 miles) starts at 8:30 AM, followed by the 1 Mile Fun Run & Walk at 8:45 AM and the Kids Trot for ages 12 and under at 9:15 AM. The event supports Literacy Volunteers of Morris County and the Interfaith Food Pantry Network, and is designed as a Thanksgiving morning for families and friends.

With three staggered starts, this is one of the easier events to attend as a whole household: run the 5K, then cheer for the kids. The 5K works both as a fast holiday race and as a gentle introduction to timed running. Four to six weeks of easy running gets a beginner to the finish; regular runners can treat it as a tune-up with a short warm-up and an even pace. The 1-mile option is a good choice for walkers or anyone easing back into activity.
