Course
Lace up for a crisp autumn run through the woods! The Trick-or-Trot 5K winds through the scenic Clinton River Park Trails at the peak of Michigan’s fall color. This off-road loop starts and finishes at Riverwood Church and features a mix of forested pathways and open stretches under golden leaves.
The route is a true 5.0K (3.1 miles) with just 5 meters of elevation gain—perfect for experienced runners, casual walkers, and stroller-pushers alike. The packed dirt and crushed gravel trails offer firm footing with the sights and smells of fall all around. Expect fresh air, tree canopies, and maybe even a few friendly squirrels cheering you on.

Held on Saturday, October 25 at 9:00 AM, the race starts and ends at Riverwood Church and follows a scenic off-road course through the Clinton River Park Trails. Entry is just $20 or a donation of 2+ bags of Halloween candy, which supports the Trick-or-Treat Trail at Riverwood’s annual Block Party.
Awards will be given for Best Overall (male and female), the top three finishers in each age group, Best Costume (solo and group), the Stroller Superstar, and the Candy Crusader for most candy donated. All participants will enjoy post-race snacks and water, and timing will be handled using the Webscorer app. Whether you're competing for a prize or enjoying a morning walk under the fall leaves, you’ll be part of something fun, friendly, and community-focused.
