The Next Batavia Mothers’ Club Fox Trot is on April 25, 2020!Lace up your running shoes and bring the family to the friendliest race on the Fox River! The Batavia Mothers’ Club Foundation (BMCF) is excited to invite you to participate in the 20th Annual Fox Trot 5K and 10K race on Saturday, April 25, 2020, at the Batavia Riverwalk (Island Avenue & Houston Street in downtown Batavia). Both the 5K and 10K start at 8:00AM and feature courses along the beautiful Fox River. Following the race is an award presentation for the winners of both races.
The Fox Trot also features two non-competitive races designed for children. The Junior Jog, for children in preschool through first grade, is approximately ¼ mile long. Second through fifth graders are encouraged to try the Youth Run (1 mile). The kids’ events begin at approximately 8:45AM, but all are welcome to partake in the pre-race events, which will include a group stretch. Also, back by popular demand this year is the 5K Stroller Division.
Pre-registration for all events is encouraged. The pre-registration cost for the 5K is $30 per runnerand the pre-registration cost for the 10K is $40 per runner. There is no charge for either of the kids’ fun runs, but a donation of $10 per child is suggested. Funds raised through this event will support local charities in the Fox Valley area, as well as Batavia schools.
In-person registration will also be accepted on race day from 6:30 – 7:40 a.m. just outside the Peg Bond center. Registration fees after April 22nd will be $35 for the 5K and $45 for the 10K. We look forward to seeing you on April 25th for this fun and family-friendly event!
