Trot for Education

The Trot for Education is an annual running event held in Maryville, Tennessee, at Clayton, 5000 Clayton Road. It features a USATF-certified 5K out-and-back course starting and ending at the Clayton corporate offices parking lot, along with a one-mile fun run/walk designed to encourage family participation. The event supports the Blount County Education Foundation, a nonprofit that provides educational resources to local schools.
