Jersey City Turkey Day 5K
Jersey City Turkey Day 5K is a 5K run and walk held in Jersey City, United States, in November. A one-mile fun run is staged alongside it, so families with younger children can take part too.
The event is centred on the Colgate Clock on Hudson Street, and the route stays beside the river along the city's waterfront, with official timing. The shoreline looks across to Lower Manhattan, with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in sight. Runners, walkers and people pushing strollers all share the course.
Age-group awards run from the under-19 bracket up to the over-80s for both men and women, and the leading three overall finishers by gender are also recognised.
