From the organizer

Dear Neighbors & Friends,

I invite you to join us on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 2026 for the 18th Annual Chatham Turkey Trot. The event consists of a 1 Mile Family Fun Run and a USA Track & Field certified 5K Race that takes participants through the scenic Highlands section of Chatham Township, NJ.

Each year, The Chatham Turkey Trot attracts more than 1,300 runners who help raise funds for our first responders and diabetes research and education. Since its inception in 2009, we have raised more than $365,000 benefiting the Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Department, the Chatham Emergency Squad, Chatham Township PBA #170, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, The Barton Center for Diabetes Education and the Diabetes Research Institute.

Over the years, the Chatham Turkey Trot has become a family holiday tradition that offers expert and novice runners alike the opportunity to spend time with family, friends, and neighbors, to raise funds for our first responders and diabetes research and education, and to break a sweat before the big meal.

I encourage you navigate through our website to learn more about our beneficiaries, to view photos and videos of past Trots, and to read about the local businesses who have supported our efforts over the years. If you have an interest in sponsoring the Turkey Trot please email us at TheChathamTurkeyTrot@gmail.com .

I hope to see you on Thanksgiving Day.

Best regards,

Curt Ritter Founder & President The Chatham Turkey Trot
