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 dating to the late 1800s. The Fort is situated where the Long Island Sound meets the East River at the Throgs Neck Bridge. The race starts and finishes at the landmarked Officers' Club, home of Bayside Historical Society. The course includes a loop out onto Little Bay Path to the Throgs Neck Bridge and back to the Fort. Timing and scoring are provided by elitefeats on a USATF Certified Course. 

 

The Kids' Fun Run at 10:00 AM is a short-distance sprint for tiny tots and kids up to 12, grouped by age category. Special “Cookie Medals” for participants in the Fun Run! Sign up on race day; $5.00 suggested donation. 

 

Halloween costumes highly encouraged for adults and kids!

​

Free parking is available at the Little Bay Park parking lot just outside of the entrance to Fort Totten.

Note: Special Guest Appearance Has Been Cancelled​​​​​

 

We regret to announce that the 501st Legion’s Empire City Garrison will no longer be appearing at this year’s Totten Trot. While we’re disappointed they can’t join us for their fourth appearance, we’re incredibly grateful for the joy and excitement they’ve brought to past events with their amazing movie-quality costumes.​ We look forward to welcoming them back at a future event, and we thank you for your understanding!​​​
