Pequannock’s Five-Alarm Turkey Trot is back for Thanksgiving morning. The 5K starts at 9 AM on Thursday, November 26, 2026, at Greenview Park, 9 Robert Place, Pequannock, NJ 07440, in the Pompton Plains section of the township. Proceeds benefit Pequannock Engine Company 1, one of the volunteer fire companies that protect the town.
Organizers describe the course as a flat, fast 5K through the center of Pequannock, built for serious runners, casual walkers and families alike. Every participant gets a custom race bib, and the first 300 registrants receive a race T-shirt. Expect music, vendors and age group awards at the park, which makes it a fun stop even for family members who are just there to cheer.
Registration is $35 for adults and $20 for ages 1 to 13 on the Five-Alarm Turkey Trot page on RunSignup. Prices go up after 11:59 PM on Wednesday, November 11, so registering early saves money. Same day check-in opens at Greenview Park at 7:30 AM, and the race page has the full race day schedule. Early bib pickup is planned for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM at the Pequannock Engine Company 1 firehouse, 30 Jackson Avenue.
