Event Description
WHAT IS THE TOFURKY TROT?
The Tofurky Trot is a family-friendly 5k (3.1 mile) fun run, trot, or walk open to all levels of physical fitness, followed by a vegan food fest featuring local and national vendors, speakers, and music (no separate ticket purchase necessary for food fest).
Prizes and medals will be awarded to the first male-identified, female-identified, and child finishers, as well as for best human costume and best dog costume!
All runners will receive a Tofurky Trot tote-bag filled with coupons and swag. T-shirts will be available to purchase.
Please note that runners will receive bibs and a race clock will be present at the finish line; the race will not be chip timed.
