Event Overview
The T-Bird Trot 5K is a community event in Benton, Kansas, that coincides with the local Benton Day celebration. The event is organized by the Circle Booster Club, with proceeds supporting students in USD 375. The race was previously known as the Circle Foundation.
Course Details
The race is a 5K run. The course is described as an "out and back" route.
