Welcome to the Trot Thru the Woods

About Us

The Trot Thru the Woods is an annual 5k and fun run through beautiful Warson Woods residential streets. It is put on by the Warson Woods Running Club.  In  2018,  we  were  able  to  donate  net  proceeds  of  $1,000  to  the  Foster  &  Adoptive Care  Coalition  to  assist  in  their efforts  in  creating  permanency  in  foster  children’s lives  by  recruiting  and  supporting  foster  and  adoptive  families  in  the  metropolitan St.  Louis  region. For the 2019 race, net proceeds will be donated to the World Pediatric Project, which heals critically ill children and builds healthcare capacity in the world.

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 October! We have great swag, free hot chocolate, free pictures of the race and, of course, the famous running turkey!
