About the Trick or Trot 5K

The course runs through Ann & Chuck Dever Regional Park on a mixed dirt and gravel trail. It moves through park surroundings at a pace the terrain supports well, without any pavement underfoot. Costumes are encouraged, and there are awards for the best ones, so expect plenty of witches and zombies at the start line.

Post-race food and refreshments are set up at the finish for everyone. The race benefits a scholarship fund for local graduating seniors, with past recipients heading to universities, trade programs, and military service.

Common Questions About the Trick or Trot 5K

Will I finish last at the Trick or Trot 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:34, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:20:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Trick or Trot 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (157 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Trick or Trot 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:58 while the median finisher took 34:34. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
