Hoboken's Annual Turkey Trot 5K

Hoboken's Annual Turkey Trot 5K is a 5K run starting at Pier A Park on Sinatra Drive in Hoboken, New Jersey. The course follows the Hoboken waterfront, with participants running parallel to the New York City skyline across the Hudson River. It is one of the largest turkey trots nationally, yet it functions as a local race with chip timing, age-group rankings, and professional photos available. The course offers direct waterfront running, making the skyline the primary visual feature. The participants range from children, adults, and older runners to casual holiday participants and competitive age-group runners, with awards for age categories from 9 and under to 70 and over. The event also features hot chocolate, sponsor giveaways, music along the course, and awards for the top three male and female finishers in each age group. The Hoboken Business Alliance organizes the event.
