Peter De Mott Peace Trot 5K & 1 Mile
About this race
The Peter De Mott Peace Trot is an annual 5k and 1-mile run organized and hosted by the Ithaca Catholic Worker in honor of peace activist, runner and Ithaca community member, Peter De Mott. Peter worked tirelessly to bring about a more just and peaceful world. This event has become a fun filled, family Father’s Day event in its sixteen years. We also invite serious runners to its well known fast course to try and equal race records.
The suggested registration fee is $35 and increases to $45 on race day. Alternatively, if you raise $100+ in sponsorships, we will waive your $35 registration fee.
All participants will receive one of our newly designed collectable t-shirts. You will enjoy some nutritious food after the run and age group winners receive unique, practical, artistic or quirky prizes of their own choosing. Won’t you join us?
Registration opens at 7:30 am! The trot starts at 9:00 am! We will continue to trot in Cass Park, but this year we will be at the marina due to construction at our normal pavilion site.Pick your distance
