El Trote De Las Calacas

El Trote De Las Calacas (Skeleton Trot) is a USATF-certified 5K race and walk in Elgin, Illinois. The event starts from the Gail Borden Public Library, 270 N. Grove Ave., and winds through Elgin’s historic northeast neighborhood and along the Fox River bike path.

The Skeleton Trot blends music and fanfare with a community-focused fundraiser supporting the Gail Borden Public Library District Foundation and the U-46 Educational Foundation. It welcomes participants of all ages and abilities. Registrants receive a goodie bag with a shirt and bib, and a finish-time medal is awarded.

Strollers are allowed; pets are not. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
