RACE MODIFICATIONS FOR COVID-19

Published on by amylopez912

In the midst of recent events, we want to bring back our live races in the safest way possible. With this being said, the Tiblow Trot will be ran in waves to keep contact to a minimum. During registration, there will be an option to choose the time that is right for you. If you have already registered, we will be in contact with you to assign you a time.

Below is a list of precautions we are taking to ensure the safest live race possible:

  • Drive-up packet pick-up for bibs and race swag.
  • Please arrive on time and be at the starting line at your assigned race time to ensure each wave will run smoothly.
  • To avoid contact, water will not be handed out by volunteers but water will be provided during the race. 
  • To avoid large gatherings, we will start each wave of runners every 30 seconds
  • Once you finish your race, please clear the area after you pick up your finisher’s bag which will include your medal.

Thank you for your consideration during this time, we plan to provide a safe and fun atmosphere.

Tiblow Trot COVID-19 Update

Published on by Bonner Springs Rotary Club

Hi Friends. We hope you are well and safe. Our Tiblow Trot Team continues to follow the CDC and WHO safety practices, in addition to working with the Bonner Springs Chamber of Commerce Tiblow Days Committee, and will make our decision to have the Tiblow Trot race by July 15th to be an In-Person or as a Virtual Race. 

For over 40 years, this race has raised funds for Bonner Springs High School scholarships and for the Rotary Polio Plus Program to end polio worldwide. We still need your support to make this happen. During this time, we encourage you to register for this race and are offering a special $19 registration fee. You are welcome to make an additional donation as you complete your registration form.

It’s important to still stay active while social distancing. Per the experts, exercise supports our physical health, however, during times of crisis such as this, it is the first activity we tend to ignore. Being active can not only keep us healthy, it can also help us fight off infection. Exercise is also unique in that it can boost our mental health, and during this anxious time, it’s more important than ever to keep our minds clear and focused. So, please, get outdoors and enjoy some sunshine while practicing 6ft of social distancing.

It’s been incredibly heartening to see people coming together virtually all over the world to support each other. We hope to have your support for this race too. Our team will be in touch by July 1st on our plan to be an In-Person or as a Virtual Race.

Training for a 5-Mile Race

Published on by amylopez912

Looking for a little motivation to keep you running a bit more than a 5K? Sign up for the 41-year-old Tiblow Trot 5-mile race in Bonner Springs! If you are already at a good fitness level and running regularly, try one of Hal Higdon’s 8K training plans for the next four weeks. The 8K is just a tad less (4.97) than 5 miles and will have you ready to cross that Tiblow Trot finish line on Oak Street!
