Yes. The Kids’ Tot Trot is for ages 8 and under and is held entirely in the Campfire Coffee parking lot. It has three heats (ages 0–2, 3–5 and 6–8), which may change based on turnout.

Strollers are welcome. The 5K course is open, with no road closures, and is supported by the RaceJoy app and directional signage. The organizers suggest children be accompanied by an adult on course.

The race page asks runners not to park in the lot directly in front of Campfire Coffee Co. or drive over the timing equipment. It suggests carpooling to conserve downtown parking and arriving early enough to check in.

Awards go to the top 3 male and top 3 female youth finishers (17 and under) and to the fastest male and female overall, ages 18 and up. There is no rescheduled date for weather, no weather decisions before race morning, and refunds are not allowed.
