Big Beaver Falls Education Foundation "Tiger Trot"

Big Beaver Falls Education Foundation "Tiger Trot" is held in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, on October 31, 2026. Both events go off together at 10:00 a.m.: a timed 5K of 3.1 miles and a 1.5-mile fun walk for anyone who would rather cover the ground at conversation pace.

A ten o'clock start is late by road-race standards, which mostly works in your favor. You can eat two or three hours out, warm up without setting an alarm in the dark, and race on legs that are genuinely awake. Fifteen minutes of easy jogging with a few short accelerations beforehand matters more at a 5K than at any longer distance, because you are at race effort within the first quarter-mile. Beyond that, four to six weeks of one weekly speed session is the whole preparation.
