Trot Thru the Woods

Welcome to the Trot Thru the Woods

The Trot Thru the Woods is an annual 5k and fun run through the beautiful Warson Woods residential streets. We pride ourselves on putting on a very fun, family oriented event. It is organized by the Warson Woods Running Club. Come Join Us!

We put on one of the most fun races in town. The 5k is priced right and the fun run is free if you sign up by the end of September! We have free pictures of the race and, of course, the famous running turkey!

This year's race will be held on Saturday November 22nd at Royal Oaks Park (900 Warson Woods Dr, 63122). The 5k starts at 8:00 A.M. sharp followed by the fun run at 9:00. Packet pickup is on Friday November 21st from 3:00 to 5:00 also at Royal Oaks Park. Parking is available on race day morning behind City Hall (10015 Manchester Road, 63122). Please arrive early as parking is limited.

The first 120 5K registrants will receive a pair of custom 'Trot thru the Woods' socks by Sock Guy. Featuring our new logo, these seamless, synthetic crew socks are the best race giveaway we've ever had! If you're not one of the first 120 to register, fear not! We'll still have you covered. On race day, you'll be able to pick from a selection of great giveaways from past years, like shirts and hats.

Race day amenities include free pictures which will be published in the days after the race. We will also have post-race refreshments for all participants. Awards will be presented to the top overall male and female runners. In addition, age group awards will be presented to the top male and female in the following age groups: 7 and Under, 8-10, 11-13, 14-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+ All kid fun run participants will receive a prize!
