2026 CEA/Johanna Foods Turkey Trot

The CEA/Johanna Foods Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day race in Flemington, New Jersey, billed as the state’s original Turkey Trot. The event gives people a choice between a 5K run and a 2-mile walk, so it works for competitive runners, casual walkers, families, and neighbors starting the holiday together. The route goes through Flemington’s historic streets, and the field can reach more than 6,000 runners and walkers. Since 1993, the race has raised money for CEA employment programs, which help hundreds of people with disabilities get coaching and support for successful jobs in their communities. Generations of local families return to the trot as part of their Thanksgiving routine, with experienced runners and first-timers sharing the same morning.
