Event overview
The Mercer County Turkey Trot is scheduled for Thursday, November 27, 2025, in West Windsor, NJ. The event includes these race options:
- 5K
- 1 Mile Walk/Fun Run
Proceeds from the event support local food banks and pantries. This is the 13th annual edition organized by a Mercer County resident race committee.
Course, awards and logistics
The 5K course is certified by USA Track & Field and the surface is paved. The 1 mile walk/fun run follows a portion of the 5K course and does not use a timing chip, so no official time is recorded for that event. The event is open to runners, families, and strollers; dogs are not allowed. Participants will be staged by approximate run times so faster runners start toward the front.
Awards include winner certificates for the fastest overall male, female and non-binary finishers, plus first through third place in each age group. T-shirts are available for the first 1,000 registrants and medals are available for the first 750 finishers. Race bibs and t-shirts for the 5K can be picked up in advance on Sunday, November 23 or Tuesday, November 25 at McCaffrey's in West Windsor (Bistro area upstairs). Teams with more than 10 members receive a registration discount. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
