Westfield State Turkey Trot is a running race on November 14, 2026 in Westfield, MA.
From the Organizer
Join us for the third annual Westfield State Turkey Trot!
The Turkey Trot is a 5K race around campus taking place on Saturday, November 15th. The first wave will leave at 11:00am.
We will be racing around campus to help collect important items for those in need in November.
When registering to race, you will be prompted to choose which donation type you plan to make as your entrance fee. There are three ways to give back as part of this year's race.
$10 donation for the SGA Turkey Drive to help provide Thanksgiving Meals to families.
Food Item to be donated to the Campus Food Pantry, Common Goods.
Items that can be placed in Care Packages for those that are homeless. This would be things like toiletries, nutritious food, hand warmers, first aid supplies, and clean socks.
We know not everyone has the same ability, but may want to participate in this fun event. We are offering two different levels of participation:
Competitive 5K Race
Race for Fun
Did we mention every participant gets a FREE T-Shirt?
