Hoboken's Annual Turkey Trot 5K 2026

Hoboken's Annual Turkey Trot 5K begins and ends at Pier A Park on Sinatra Drive, situated on the Hoboken waterfront with views of Manhattan. This Thanksgiving-week event features a USATF-certified 5K run/walk and a 1 Mile Fun Run, offering families, walkers, casual runners, and competitive racers a shared holiday activity. The 5K employs chip timing, provides age-group rankings, and consistently fills to capacity annually. The course follows the Hudson River, with the New York City skyline bordering the route, making the waterfront a central element. The event accommodates children and older runners alike, with awards presented to the top three male and female finishers in age groups ranging from 9 and under to 70 and over. The Hoboken Business Alliance coordinates the race, which also includes live music, hot chocolate, sponsor giveaways, and professional photography for participants.
