Gobble Gobble! Chatham Turkey Trot to Benefit Fire Dept., Diabetes Research

It’s time to stretch this wings and thighs and get those feathers flapping: The annual Chatham Turkey Trot is set for Thanksgiving Day.

The seventh annual event is set for 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 26, and will benefit the Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Department and Diabetes Research Institute. Anyone registering before 5 p.m. Nov. 16 can enter for $15 per person and receive a t-shirt. Registrants on race day will cost $25.

The one-mile race will weave its way through The Highlands section of the township. Over the past seven years, the event has raised more than $60,000.

Registration and warm-ups begin at 8 a.m. with the one-mile family fun run at 8:30 a.m. The USA Track & Field Certified 5K Race will begin at 9 a.m., followed by an award ceremony at 9:50 a.m.
