The Chatham Turkey Trot is Coming Soon!

We are pleased to invite your family and friends to kick-off the Holiday Season by participating in the 3rd Annual Chatham Highlands Turkey Trot, hosted and organized by The Chatham Turkey Trot, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

This annual event has fast become a Highlands tradition and is expected to continue to grow in size and popularity.  Last year, more than 140 runners participated in the 1 Mile Fun Run and 5K Family Fun Run, which raised $4,000 for the Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Department and the Diabetes Research Institute. Please see the attached pdf file for press coverage from last year’s event.

This year’s event will take place on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 24th. We will again meet at the corner of Seminole Drive and Van Houton Drive. Please note:
