About
Trick & Trot Challenge is held in Cocoa Beach, Florida, on October 24, 2026. A single format is on offer: a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 7:30 a.m.
An hour or so is all this one asks of your morning, which makes it easy to build a weekend around, and a single-distance race means no waiting between waves: warm up, run, done. For a good time over 3.1 miles, the most useful preparation is repetition at goal effort — sets of 800s or 1,000s with short recoveries, once a week for four to six weeks, alongside a weekly tempo run and easy mileage. Newer runners should not be put off: the distance is short enough to finish comfortably on a run-walk approach if that is where you are right now.
