Totten Trot 5K Run/Walk

The Totten Trot 5K Run/Walk is an annual event held at Fort Totten in Bayside, New York, benefiting the Bayside Historical Society. The USATF-certified waterfront course features a scenic loop around Little Neck Bay, passing historic Civil War-era buildings and offering views near the Throgs Neck Bridge. The race starts and finishes at the landmarked Officers’ Club, known as "The Castle." Participants receive a T-shirt designed by a local student if registered early, and awards include cash prizes for top finishers and best costume.

The event also includes a kids' fun run with costume contests and cookie medals. Unique features include a reception at the historic site and appearances by the 501st Legion Star Wars costuming group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
