Batavia Mothers’ Club Fox Trot 5K and 10K returns for 22nd year

The Batavia Mothers’ Club Foundation will host the 22nd annual Fox Trot 5K and 10K on Saturday, April 27, at the Batavia Riverwalk, Island Avenue and Houston Street in downtown Batavia.

Both the 5K and 10K races start at 8 a.m. and feature courses along the Fox River. There will be an award presentation for the winners of both races, according to a news release.

The Fox Trot features two noncompetitive races designed especially for children. The Junior Jog for children in preschool through first grade is about a quarter-mile long. Second through fifth graders are encouraged to try the 1-mile Youth Run. The kids’ events begin at about 8:45 a.m., but all are welcome to partake in prerace events, which will include a group stretch, according to the release.

Registration for all events is encouraged. Cost for the 5K is $45. Cost for the 10K is $50. There is no charge for either of the kids’ fun runs, but a donation of $10 a child is suggested.

Funds raised at the event will support local charities in the Fox Valley area, as well as Batavia schools, according to the release.
