Lace up for a cause at the 19th Annual Clot Trot, a cherished community 5K taking place on April 25, 2026, in scenic Richland, WA. This family-friendly event welcomes runners and walkers alike to Howard Amon Park, where the flat, paved riverfront trail promises a smooth and enjoyable out-and-back course. Participants will enjoy picturesque views as they traverse alongside the Columbia River, with a convenient water station positioned at the halfway turnaround point. Typical race day conditions in late April offer ideal running weather, with highs around 68°F and lows around 43°F, and only a 2% chance of precipitation.

The Clot Trot is more than just a race; it's a grassroots effort with a profound purpose. Started in 2008 as an Eagle Scout project, this event has grown into a significant fundraiser, dedicated to raising awareness and vital funds for hemophilia research and supporting individuals and families living with bleeding disorders. The atmosphere is consistently supportive and community-focused, making it a perfect event for seasoned runners seeking a fast course or families looking for a meaningful way to stay active together.

The 5K kicks off at 9:00 AM from Howard Amon Park, easily found near the "fingernail stage" and identifiable by a firetruck. As a special incentive, the first 243 in-person registrants will receive a complimentary 2026 Clot Trot T-shirt, making this free event even more rewarding. Join the Clot Trot to experience a beautiful course, a welcoming community, and the profound satisfaction of contributing to a truly impactful cause.
