About the Trojan Trot 5K & Fun Run - All Abilities!
The Trojan Trot runs through the area around University High School and benefits the school's PTSA, athletic programs, and student clubs. There are two distance options, one timed with age-group awards and one a shorter fun run format open to all paces and abilities. The event runs rain or shine, and no dogs on the course.
Bib pickup is available the afternoon before the race at the school, near the small gym, with race-morning pickup also available before the start. After the race, an expo sets up on site with vendors and sponsors. The start is staggered, with the longer distance going off first and the fun run following later in the morning.
