Mercer County Turkey Trot

Mercer County Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning race in West Windsor, New Jersey. It offers a fast, USA Track & Field-certified 5K on a paved course, plus a 1-mile Walk/Fun Run that follows part of the 5K route. The event is family-friendly—open to runners, families, and strollers, with no dogs allowed—and treats the day as a community fundraiser, directing net proceeds to local food banks and pantries.

Perks include T-shirts for the first 1,000 registrants, medals for the first 750 finishers, and winners certificates for top overall and age-group finishers. Packet pickup details are on the event site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
