BHS's 24th Annual Totten Trot 5K Foot Race

Bayside Historical Society's annual Totten Trot 5K Foot Race is a Halloween-themed, waterfront course in historic Fort Totten Park on Little Neck Bay in Bayside, a pristine stretch surrounding a preserved Civil War fortress. Runners will pass through the Historic District, which consists of buildings from the late 1800s. The race starts and finishes at the landmarked Officers' Club, home of Bayside Historical Society. The course includes a loop on Little Bay Path to the Throgs Neck Bridge and back to the Fort. Registration begins at 7:30am, and the race starts at 9:00am.

The Kids' Fun Run at 10:00am is a short-distance sprint for tiny tots and kids up to 12, grouped by age category. Halloween costumes are encouraged for adults and kids!
