Trot for Tots

Ready, set, trot! The annual Trot for Tots in Oakdale steps off Sunday morning at the Oakdale Community Center. Runners and walkers have the option of taking part in the 5K, 10K, or both races back-to-back. The course is fast and flat, tracing the Panhandle Trail in Oakdale, opening up the event to participants of all ages. The race benefits the Amachi program of Pittsburgh, which provides mentors to children impacted by incarceration. Event organizers ask participants bring at least one unwrapped gift to donate to the Amachi program. Toys can be dropped off prior to the race, during packet pickup, or the day of the race. Participants can expect hot soup, hot chocolate and other goodies.
