About Trail Fest:

FEAR Trail Fest is a 5 mile lollipop loop trail race in Lewis Morris Park in Morristown, NJ. The course is run mostly on the Yellow Trail in Lewis Morris Park. It’s a runnable course with a mix of rocks, roots, and some good climbs totaling around 600 feet of elevation gain. The course starts with a wide section on the Patriots Path before moving to single track for the full Yellow Trail loop before traversing the short section of the Patriots Path again back to the finish. The course is meant to attract runners looking to tackle their first trail race, or an experienced veteran on the trails looking to have a fun and fast race! Hikers are welcome too, with a generous 2:30 hour time limit.

Additionally, we will host course previews (see dates below) on the actual course so no one needs to go into the race blindly. These course previews are free and will be educational and informative if you’ve never run trails before or have never been to Lewis Morris Park.

Sustainability:

Trail Fest is going cupless! Hydrapak will be providing reusable cups for runners to be used before, during, and after the race for all their electrolyte needs.

Additionally, we are ditching traditional PVC-made race bibs and going with hemp bibs. These are much more environmentally friendly versus old traditional bibs.

Logistics:

Who: Everyone’s invited (but limited to 120 runners)! New trail runners, experienced trail runners and hikers. We’ll even adopt road runners for the day!

What: A 5 mile trail race (route below)!

Where: Lewis Morris Park Sunrise Lake Dr., Morristown, NJ 07690. Once you get to this road, keep driving until you see the lot.

Dear Neighbors & Friends,

I invite you to join us on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 2026 for the 18th Annual Chatham Turkey Trot. The event consists of a 1 Mile Family Fun Run and a USA Track & Field certified 5K Race that takes participants through the scenic Highlands section of Chatham Township, NJ.

Each year, The Chatham Turkey Trot attracts more than 1,300 runners who help raise funds for our first responders and diabetes research and education. Since its inception in 2009, we have raised more than $365,000 benefiting the Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Department, the Chatham Emergency Squad, Chatham Township PBA #170, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, The Barton Center for Diabetes Education and the Diabetes Research Institute.

Over the years, the Chatham Turkey Trot has become a family holiday tradition that offers expert and novice runners alike the opportunity to spend time with family, friends, and neighbors, to raise funds for our first responders and diabetes research and education, and to break a sweat before the big meal.

I encourage you navigate through our website to learn more about our beneficiaries, to view photos and videos of past Trots, and to read about the local businesses who have supported our efforts over the years. If you have an interest in sponsoring the Turkey Trot please email us at [email protected].

I hope to see you on Thanksgiving Day.

Best regards,

Curt Ritter

Founder & President
