Rotary Club of Batavia Trick or Trot 5k

Rotary Club of Batavia Trick or Trot 5k runs in Batavia, New York, on October 24, 2026, and it is an afternoon event: the Monster Mile sets off at 2 p.m. and the 5K at 3 p.m. Doing both is realistic if you treat the mile as a long warm-up, and the late start means no pre-dawn alarm.

This is a road race, and at 3.1 miles the 5K is short enough that almost anyone who runs regularly can finish it. If it would be your first, build toward twenty to twenty-five minutes of continuous running over six weeks, mixing run and walk intervals early on. Racers should plan around the afternoon gun: eat your main meal early, keep the last hour light, and warm up for ten to fifteen minutes so your legs are awake after a day of sitting.
