Get ready to trot your way to fun at the Tater-Tot Trot, returning to Denton, TX, on March 21, 2026! This vibrant, family-friendly event, held at North Lakes Park (2001 W. Windsor Rd.), offers a delightful experience for runners of all ages and abilities. Choose your challenge with either a 5K or 1-mile distance, or let the little ones join the excitement in the free Kid's Dash, a short 100-200 meter sprint held before the main races.

What makes the Tater-Tot Trot truly unique is its irresistible theme – a celebration of everyone's favorite crispy potato snack! Participants in both the 5K and 1-mile events will earn a custom, event-themed finisher medal, with age group award winners (for the 5K) receiving an additional medal. Overall, Masters (40+), and Grand Masters (60+) champions will be honored with prestigious platinum medals. Typical race day conditions in late March in Denton offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 71F and lows around 48F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation.

This event is renowned for its lively atmosphere, welcoming both competitive athletes and casual runners looking for a memorable outing. With registration including an event-themed participation t-shirt (for those who register by March 7 to guarantee their size) and the promise of "the most fun you've ever had at a race," the Tater-Tot Trot is more than just a run; it's a community celebration filled with laughter and fitness.
