Tot Trot (100m) — UNTIMED
You’re never too young to race!
The Tot Trot is always good for those picture-perfect moments. From preschoolers, toddlers and babes in strollers, the Tot Trot is a 100m “run” that ends under the finish line arch. This event will occur on the soccer field at the Richcraft complex. The Tot Trot is free and doesn’t require registration. Show up and you’re good to go!
Please note: THIS EVENT IS NOT TIMED.
Awards Ceremony

Awards will be handed out immediately after winners have been declared in the 10K event for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall, men/women for the 5K and 10K races only.
Awards will not be mailed out so winners may have a designate pick up an award on their behalf if they’re unable to stay. The 1k and Tot Trot participants will receive finishers ribbons.
