Trot with Tracy's for CASA

Trot with Tracy's for CASA is held in Bastrop, Texas, on November 21, 2026. It is a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 a.m., and the name makes the purpose clear: the run supports CASA, the court-appointed special advocates who work on behalf of children in the court system.

Charity 5Ks like this bring together experienced runners and people doing their first race, so expect a mixed field and a friendly atmosphere at the start. If you are new to running, aim to be able to jog for 30 minutes before race day; a six-week progression of three short runs a week gets most people there. Regular runners can use the distance as a tune-up, running the first mile at a controlled pace and then pressing on. Keep a warm layer on until the start and shed it as you go. Either way, give yourself a few minutes to warm up so the first stretch does not feel like a shock to the legs.
