Trick or Trot 5K Fun Run/Walk
Get ready to lace up your sneakers (and your costume!) for the first ever Trick or Trot 5K, hosted by Brick Built Real Estate Cafe & Coworking!
This isn't your average race day. Whether you're sprinting, jogging, or strolling with the family, everyone is welcome, runners, walkers, strollers, and pups on leashes included! Come in your spookiest, silliest, or most creative costume for a chance to win prizes in our costume contest.
Every runner will receive a race t-shirt (MUST REGISTER BY OCT 10TH TO RECEIVE SHIRT), and medals will be awarded to top finishers. But the real prize? Knowing your entry fee is helping local families in need.
100% of proceeds benefit our Angel Tree program, providing Christmas gifts to children and families in our community who couldn't otherwise afford them this holiday season. So grab your friends, gather your family, and let's make this Halloween one for the books, all while making a real difference for our neighbors this Christmas.
