About the Trick-Or-Trot
The course runs on cross-country trails behind a building off Palmer-Moose Creek Road, with several distance options including a kids' dash. Candy gets tossed to runners out on the course, and costumes are strongly encouraged. There is a costume contest alongside the racing, and a raffle with winners announced once everything wraps up.
Registration happens in person on race morning, so no need to pre-register online. The start area is behind the building, with parking by the pool and signs to guide you from there. The race benefits CCS Early Learning, which serves young children and families, and donations can be made on the spot.
