## About

The 14th annual Bordentown Turkey Trot is a 5K run/walk on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 21, starting at 9:30 am, with packet pickup from 7 am under the pavilion. The flat, USATF-certified course finishes at Bordentown's Veterans Park, and the morning includes T-shirts, post-race refreshments, chip timing and an HD finish-line video. Awards go to the top three overall and to the top three boys and girls or men and women in age groups that start at 8 to 10, and every child 7 and under who finishes receives a medal, which makes it a good first race for young walkers. Entry is $30. Proceeds support other community events, including the Bordentown Independence Day Celebration, Bordentown Township's Fall Festival and the Bordentown City Tree Lighting.
