2026 CEA/Johanna Foods Turkey Trot
Join us THIS Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 2026 for the 34th Annual CEA/JFI Turkey Trot. The event is NJ’s original Turkey Trot and consists of a 5K Run & 2M walk that takes participants through the historic streets of Flemington, NJ. Each year, the CEA/JFI Trot has attracted upwards of 6,000 runners & walkers who help raise funds for CEA’s employment programs that benefit hundreds of individuals with disabilities. Since 1993, we have raised much needed funds to support our mission from the generous support of our sponsors, donors, and runners. The CEA/JFI Turkey Trot has become a family holiday tradition for generations that offers expert and novice runners alike the opportunity to spend time with family, friends, and neighbors, to raise awareness and funding for services that help coach individuals into successful jobs in their community.
