Event summary
Get ready to kick off your Turkey Trot training with the exciting Turkey Trot Training/Preview 5K event on Sunday, November 5, 2023, in Westfield, Union! This inclusive and free event invites participants of all ages, genders, abilities, and paces to join Kristina from Fit4Mom and her team for a guided 5K run along the Turkey Trot 5 Mile route, excluding the park loops. It's the perfect opportunity to meet fellow Trotters, familiarize yourself with the course, and gather valuable training tips before the main event.
Participants can expect a friendly atmosphere with bagels, juice, and water provided after the run to refuel and socialize. The group will maintain a comfortable pace of 9-10 minutes per mile, but for those who prefer a different speed, printed maps and a MapMyRun link will be available for unguided runs. Make sure to arrive early to secure parking as the park can be busy on weekends. Don’t miss this fantastic chance to prepare for your Turkey Trot experience and enjoy a day of community and fitness!

Organiser's description
Join Kristina from Fit4Mom as she and her Team guide you through 5K of our Westfield Turkey Trot 5 Mile route (eliminating the loops within the park). OPEN TO ALL AGES, GENDERS, ABILITIES, AND PACES. Come and meet fellow Trotters before event day, learn the course, and ask questions about how to complete your training. This is a FREE event, but please RSVP so we know to expect you. Bagels, juice, and water will be provided after your run!
Please keep in mind that the leader will be keeping an approximate pace of 9-10 minutes per mile. If you would like to run faster or slower, printed maps and the link to our MapMyRun will be provided so you can follow the turns along the residential streets unguided.
Meet at the large parking lot for the tennis courts/restrooms which is about 3/4 of the way around the park if you enter from the main Lamberts Mill Rd. entrance. The park can be very busy on weekends and parking may be limited. Please arrive early to ensure you find parking (which may need to be in a different lot or on the surrounding streets) and meet the group prior to the start time.
