About the race

Trot Thru the Woods is a community run held at Royal Oak Park in Warson Woods. This edition is presented in memorial to a former resident who helped found the race.

The event includes these race options:

  • 5K
  • Kids Fun Run (approximately 1/2 mile)

Registration opens August 15. 5K entry fees are listed by date: $20 through October 1 (early), $25 from October 1 through November 1, and $30 after November 1 and on race day. Kids Fun Run is free through November 1 and $5 after November 1 and on race day. T-shirts are guaranteed for 5K registrants who sign up before November 1. Kids who want a shirt can add one during registration for $15.

The course is still being determined because of road construction in Warson Woods. Event organizers will finalize the route and update details when available.

There is no parking at Royal Oak Park on race day. Parking is available behind Warson Woods City Hall, a short walk downhill to the park. There is no street parking on Warson Woods Drive between Renderer and Andrew.

A photographer will be on site and photos will be posted after the event. The event also features a running turkey and awards: overall male and female winners plus male and female medals in each 5K age group (7 and under; 8–10; 11–13; 14–19; 20–29; 30–39; 40–49; 50–59; 60+). All Kids Fun Run participants receive a finisher's medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
