About the Westfield State Turkey Trot
The course loops around a college campus, so the surroundings are familiar and contained. The route is the kind you can preview on foot before the gun goes off. Runners can enter as a competitive race or as a more casual run, and the entry fee itself is a donation, either food, supplies for care packages, or money toward a local Thanksgiving meal drive.
The race is held on campus, which means parking and the start area are all in one place. Post-race, the charitable angle is the main draw: every participant's entry goes directly to one of several local causes, so the morning has a purpose beyond the finish line.

The Westfield State Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
