Event Description

Please join us on Saturday, October 24th, 2026 at the Nichols Field Track for a KIDS' FUN RUN to support four-year-old Tommy Lafontaine in his fight against leukemia. This is a family-friendly, community-oriented event! ALL REGISTRATION FEES WILL BENEFIT THE LAFONTAINE FAMILY.  

While the race is designed for children between the ages of 3 and 12, younger and older siblings who do not fall within the age brackets are strongly encouraged to attend! In addition to the fun run, there will be lawn games, face painting, a bake sale, raffle, and much more to honor Tommy as we celebrate his upcoming fifth birthday! Parents, grandparents, friends, and family will have the opportunity to walk donation-based laps after the race is over to show Tommy their love and support. 

RACE INFO: Tommy’s Trot is an entirely off-road event that will take place on the Nichols Field gravel track for children ages 3-12. For safety and support purposes, there will be waved starts (five total) beginning with the younger kids. Parents with young children participating in the event may walk or run alongside their child on the grass, and all children should cheer one another on from the grass while it is not their turn to run.
